Course description

Research communication deals with research communication, with theoretical, planning and practical elements. The course consists of three courses á 2.5 credits each. In all parts, the doctoral student works on the basis of his or her own research material.

The first course, Research communication, researchers' role in society, 2.5 credits, deals with the role of research and the researcher in society. Here, the meaning of research communication and its significance for both public debate and the quality of research are discussed. 

The second course, Planning and integrating research communication, 2.5 credits, deals with the planning and integration of communication in research activities. Here, communication is discussed as both information and co-creation with selected target groups.
