At the University of Twente different courses and trainings are offered related to science communication.
Courses and trainings on science communication vary largely with some offering practical tips on how to communicate, how to tell a story or use social media, while others also provide insight in reasons for communicating science, the history of science communication and engagement, and include findings from science communication research.
These course are offered, for example, via different groups at the UT, that is, Marketing & Communication, the Language Centre, the Centre for Training and Development in collaboration with the Twente Graduate School, the DesignLab or the ECIU.
The overview we provide is not complete. We aim to develop more courses and trainings in the future. If you want to add courses or trainings, please contact dr. Anne M. Dijkstra.
