Science communication course in Amsterdam for PhD and young scientists

In today’s academic world, it’s not enough to “just” publish – researchers need to be visible, heard, and able to communicate in the language of both science and the public. Sign up for a course organized by our partner in the Aurora network – Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

We warmly invite you to take part in the Aurora Capacity Building: PhD Academy on Publishing Skills and Science Communication, a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) that will take place from 6–10 October 2025 at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

You will learn:

• how to prepare a manuscript for publication and navigate the peer-review process,

• how to understand and apply principles of research publishing ethics,

• how to boost the visibility of your work through open access and digital tools,

• how to translate complex scientific topics into clear and engaging messages for diverse audiences – using storytelling, visual communication, and media.
