Do you have a great idea for a public engagement project? Are you eager to use science communication to bring your research to life and connect with a broader audience but are not sure how to implement your project? Then From Idea to Impact is your chance to make it happen! The Research Center for Science Communication (RCS) has teamed up with the University’s Graduate Academy to bring you a new initiative that is equal parts creative inspiration, hands-on mentoring, and competition to reward the best ideas.
The contest supports the development and implementation of innovative, audience-oriented science communication formats. Selected participants will take part in a Project Development Workshop, where they will learn how to develop and implement their own project ideas with expert guidance and find the best communication format suited to their ideas. The top three projects developed in this workshop will receive additional support, including:
- In-house mentoring on public engagement, communication skills, evaluation, and project organization by the RCS and the University’s newly established Public Engagement Hub
- Exclusive networking opportunities within the university
- Financial support for the implementation of the format
