Media Training Course

The workshop helped our researchers improve their communication abilities in the context of media interviews. In the course, the participants learned how and why is that some scientific stories become a piece of important news. This helped the attendants to identify personal strategies and abilities that will let them communicate their scientific work in a more effective way in media interviews.

This course was conducted by Valentina Rodriguez, a science communication professional with extensive experience in science journalism and astronomy outreach for international observatories, and it was taught in a morning and afternoon 3 interactive and practical sessions, including a feedback session afterwards.
