Kursens syfte The course aims at enabling students to obtain basic knowledge of science communication and to prepare students for effectively communicating research both to peers within academia as well as to a wider audience.

- understand principal concepts associated with scientific communication.
- communicate own research adjusted to different contexts by using various means of interaction.
- based on theories of communication and learning assess the quality of peers' research and give constructive feedback accordingly.
Kursens innehåll Participants will be given the opportunity to develop practical skills and theoretical knowledge in how to deliver a coherent message in written and verbal communication. There will be a focus on basic concepts such as how to improve one’s academic writing; how to adapt presentation techniques and rhetoric in versatile settings; how to use different media (such as posters, projection media, whiteboard) and how to express oneself clearly.
