The next  Standing up for Science online workshop is taking place on Thursday 13 May 09:30-13:00. Find out how to make your voice heard in public debates about science and evidence. 

As part of the Voice of Young Science, a network of 4000+ of Early Career Researchers from across the UK and Europe, this workshop encourages early career researchers (ECRs) to make their voices heard in public debates about science. During this half-day event, ECRs meet scientists who have engaged with the media and learn from respected science journalists, hear from policymakers on how to inform policy and talk about involving the public in communicating research with public engagement experts.

A registration link will be sent to all successful applicants before the webinar.

Learn from researchers who have engaged with the media, and policymakers about why good evidence is important for them and how researchers can help to inform policy. Respected science journalists will talk about how the media works, how to respond and comment, and what journalists expect from scientists and researchers. Get hints and tips from communications experts on how you can start standing up for science, and find out how to involve the public in communicating research.

FREE for STEM and social science early career researchers, trainees and medical professionals.
