The list of 2026 International Courses organized by Institut Curie’s Advanced Training Office in coordination with researchers is now available.
Participants will learn about the importance of communicating knowledge to the wider public, understand the variety of ways of doing science communication, and build their own science communication strategy and toolbox. Through mini-lectures, group discussion, practical exercises, and self-refl ection, the workshop consists of six modules: (i) Introduction to Science Communication, (ii) Eff ective and Inclusive Communication (iii) Building My Science Communication Strategy and Toolbox, (iv) Public Speaking Fundamentals, (v) 1:1 Sessions, and (vi) My STEM Pitch & Strategy.
The goal is for participants to understand key elements of science communication and learn how to improve and practice effective communication and outreach. Knowledge, tools, methods, and personal feedback are given.
