Basics of Science Communication

Communicating research in a concise and understandable way and to gain the trust of the target group - that is the basis of good science communication. This format provides a sound understanding of these requirements and strengthens the key skills for effective science communication.

Communicating Science Online

Communicating science in social media? This format offers the ideal introduction. Which platforms are relevant, what are the special features and target groups? This course lays the foundation for your own social media strategy in science communication.

Presenting Science

Researchers often have to present their topics to a wide audience in a convincing and entertaining way. This format teaches how to tailor appearance and presentation to the target group. The focus is on providing a clear structure, easy-to-understand content and an engaging presentation that also appeals to those outside the field.

Visualising Science

Visualising research topics in an appealing and understandable way for a broad audience can be highly effective. This format uses case studies to teach graphic design skills, key design principles, and visualisation strategies.

Science Communication in Grant Proposals

Science communication strategies have become an integral part of grant proposals. This course helps participants effectively incorporate science communication into their funding applications and successfully implement the communication projects outlined in their proposals.

Media Training for Scientists

Our media training prepares researchers for interview situations and exchanges with journalists. You will learn how to present yourself confidently in front of a microphone and camera, explain complex topics clearly and act confidently in a studio atmosphere - for target group-oriented and convincing communication in the media.

Producing Science Podcasts

Podcasts are an excellent tool for communicating science in an engaging and relatable way. In this course, participants will learn how to effectively convey their content to a diverse audience. They will receive an introduction to podcast planning, production and marketing, enabling them to develop a solid concept and present their content creatively and attractively.

Participatory Science Communication

Modern science communication bridges the gap between research, society, and politics. The "Participatory Science Communication" format focuses on fostering constructive dialogue and effective collaboration among various stakeholders in science communication.

Making Science Videos

Short videos are an effective means of communicating science to a wide audience. In the course, participants plan, shoot and edit video sequences and prepare them for publication on social media. They will learn how to use the camera, basic rules of composition and visual storytelling.

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.

An Overview of our Training Formats

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.
