NSCPHD1064 Applied research communication and dissemination for Agricultural Development
The objective of the course is to train researchers in
communicating their research to selected audiences. Specifically
for applied agricultural research in a devlopment context,
understanding the audience is key for effective communication. The
course offers training in packaging your research to achieve
maximum impact and attention.
Very often, researchers are exclusively focused on their research
content and results, and fail to understand the context of the
audience, as well as the limitations or possibilities of the
communication format or type. Through exercises and feedback, the
participants will be given the chance to prepare a selected piece
of their research for a variety of audiences.
The course offers a preparation phase, where the selected research is identified and prepared for the course. During three days of practical training, the research is presented in a selection of formats. Participants choose 3 out of a variety of options (scientific poster; radio interview, short video, policy brief, technical brief, farmers leaflet ect), and prepare the same story in three formats with feedback and guidance from the instructors.
