Communicating the 3Rs | 1st edition
27, 29, and 30 November 2023 | i3S, Porto
This is a science communication workshop, specifically targeting young researchers whose work has relevance to the 3Rs of animal experimentation - Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement. In this workshop, participants will learn how to communicate research to different publics and in different contexts with a focus on bringing out the 3Rs aspects. There will be a combination of lectures and "hands-on" communication exercises. Participants will be asked to bring their own material and will be guided in creating communication output that can be disseminated through the 3R Knowledge Center.
Target audience: Ph.D. students, research fellows, and postdocs.
Course duration: 12 hours
Teaching Language: English
Requirements: Laptop. Each participant should bring a scientific document (paper, abstract, conference presentation, etc), as a starting point for the workshop assignments. This should be something that is relevant for their own research (may but does not have to be their own work) and for the 3Rs.
Certificate: A certificate of attendance will be assigned to participants that do not miss more than one session.
