News archive - Workshops in Science Communications in Dubrovnik
The project ESConet Trainers will organise trainings for EC-funded scientists to improve the ability to interact with national and international media, especially audiovisual media, for example how to present their work on TV and radio.
EC-funded scientists means that the scientists need to be currently involved (at the time of training) in a research project financed by the European Commission.
ESConet Trainers will deliver this training with a series of residential workshops. This will enable trainees to interact intensively with both the trainers and their peers, maximising the lessons learned and the new skills acquired.
The workshops will be held in the Centre for Advanced Academic Studies in Dubrovnik: http://www.caas.unizg.hr/.

July 12.-14, 2009
