Presenting Science

Researchers often have to present their topics to a wide audience in a convincing and entertaining way. This training course teaches you how to tailor your appearance and presentation to your target audience. The focus is on a clear structure, comprehensible content and an appealing presentation that also reaches non-specialist listeners - whether at public dialogues, lectures or science slams.

Evaluation of Science Communication

Evaluating the effectiveness of communication efforts is crucial for their success. In this course, participants will learn how to plan and execute evaluation projects. Practical tips for successfully implementing evaluations using the right methods are a key component of the training.

Our workshops and courses at a glance

Our workshops and courses are available in various formats, tailored to individual learning needs. Whether in-person, online or as a digital self-study course – each format specifically promotes the development of skills in science communication.

In-person Workshop

Direct exchange and practical application: Our face-to-face workshops offer a focused learning environment with a real break away from the daily work routine. The focus here is on direct exchange with trainers and the group. Interactive exercises and practical methods make the content tangible and firmly anchored. The intensive learning experience leaves a lasting impression. Our workshops take place either at your institution or in the NaWik course room.

Online Workshop

Location-independent learning in the virtual classroom: our online training courses bring participants together online at fixed training times. The units – two or three half days – can be easily integrated into everyday working life. Each training session is accompanied live by two trainers and takes place in small groups to enable intensive exchange and individual feedback.

E-learning Course

Learn when and where it suits: our e-learning courses enable flexible self-study with multimedia and interactive content – from quizzes to texts, videos to animations. Participants work through the modules at their own pace and receive targeted feedback through exemplary solutions. Self-tests allow users to check their own learning progress.
