EARN an ANU Postgraduate Award and improve your skills in communicating your science

The Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science will be holding a short workshop for HDR students of the Colleges of Science from Monday 26 November to Wednesday 28 November, 2018.

CPAS workshops are held over two and a half days.  They cover topics such as conference presentations, speaking to a variety of audiences, writing in plain English for a variety of audiences, understanding the public, and so on. 

On completion of the workshop you will be entitled to a Certificate qualifying you for the formal ANU Graduate Short Course Award in Science Communication.

The workshop is highly interactive – you will be expected to participate throughout the sessions.

All HDR students in the Colleges of Science are encouraged to attend these workshops and we are delighted to tell you that the Deputy Dean (Education) is generously covering your fee.  You are urged to take this opportunity to improve your presentation skills:  these workshops are in high demand from external scientific organisations where such expertise is valued by prospective employers.  Past students have returned highly positive evaluations.

Your time commitment will be no more than a short conference.

You can register for the workshop by emailing cpas@anu.edu.au

Further information about the course can be found here.

Registration will be on a first come first served basis as numbers are restricted.
