Science communication - how and why?

The workshop deals with the basics of science communication. After an introductory lecture there will be an interactive practice session followed by a question-and-answer session. In the lecture, participants will be sensitized to the importance of science communication and learn the basics of good science communication. In an interactive exercise part, individual key messages are developed. In the question-and-answer part, specific questions about the lecture as well as the the exercise section will be addressed. In addition, questions about possible career paths in science communication will be answered.
