Beschrijving

Now that transferring knowledge to society is becoming increasingly important for scientists, knowing how to deal with media is one aspect of an academic researcher's range of tasks. In that light the Network of Women Professors (NVH) and the Halkes women's network are organizing a joint symposium on Science and the Media.

The symposium will kick off with a keynote speech by Maria Henneman (`Stichtingsbestuur' Radboud University and owner of a media training company) and a column by Stine Jensen (author, journalist, and philosopher). After that, you are invited to participate in one of multiple workshops, covering different media performances. These workshops will be given by our own communication department and Stine Jensen.

1. Pitching your research How can you quickly explain, in an accessible way, the topic of your research and its most important findings? How do you make sure the relevance for larger society comes across? This workshop will allow you to practice with these more general issues. (Iris Kruijen, Anne van Kessel)

2. Media practice: doing a short interview The goal of this workshop is to learn how to answer briefly to a news reporter and what you can do to improve the impression you give off. 3x10 seconds to bring yourself and your research across. (Jurjen Simmelink)

3. Preparing for an interview THIS WORKSHOP IS ONLY OFFERED IN DUTCH: hoe bereid je je voor op een interview? Hoe zorg je ervoor dat je overbrengt wat je wilde vertellen en wat voor rol kunnen mindfulness en ademhaling hierin spelen? De workshop zal ook ingaan op de verschillende vormen van een mediaoptreden, zoals bijvoorbeeld amusement vs wetenschap en radio vs krant. (Stine Jensen)

4. Disseminating science through social media How can you use social media tools to reach an audience of non-academics? Get information about different possible social media outlets and tips and tricks to use them. (Iris Roggema and Steven den Boer)
