On December 1st and 8th, the Graduate School of Science in collaboration with KMI, the International Communications Office and the Public Relations Department, will organize the first “Introduction to Science Communication” workshop.

In this workshop, you will learn the basics of science communication from our University’s professionals, using interactive lectures, relevant exercises, and an assignment featuring your own research. Our professionals will guide you in transforming your research into a piece of science communication content that can help you explain your bachelor, master, or PhD project to your friends, family, and the general public.

The best assignments may even be featured on Nagoya University’s social media channels!
