science communication training
Professional development for researchers
We’ve trained scientists and researchers across Australia for over 20 years, helping them more effectively communicate their work to the media, industry and the public.
Equip your team with practical science communication skills
From PhD students to Professors, Science in Public delivers tailored professional development programs that will improve the communication capabilities and confidence of researchers.
If you want to improve your team’s ability to communicate their research effectively, we provide:
supporting Australia’s innovation sector
Training modules
We package our professional development programs based on your organisation’s needs, the number of attendees, and budget. Our core modules can be presented as short advice sessions and packaged into full-day and multi-day workshops or longer retreat formats.
All modules can be delivered in-person or online.
In collaboration with our specialist training partners, we also provide modules on grant writing, industry engagement and intellectual property.
We also host regular media training workshops around Australia. These are open to all. Book media training here.
stakeholders forum
How do you talk to a funder, a customer or a government official? Researchers engage with experienced panellists representing your organisation’s key stakeholders.
MEET THE PRESS FORUM
Meet with working journalists from TV news, print, online, and radio and podcasting – understand the news cycle, how to pitch to media, and what journalists are looking for in a science story.
build your profile
We help researchers understand how they can be more visible across social media, online, science prizes, and the media.
make your pitch
A hands-on, practical session dissecting what makes a strong pitch. Through the session, we help researchers turn complex science into engaging stories.
Communication planning
Workshop a one to two-year communication plan for your idea, project, program, or institute, identifying key audiences and pathways to impact
Preparing for prizes
Prizes can open doors. We’ll help identify the right research for the right prize, and work with researchers to craft a compelling narrative for the judges.
