Session overview
Research communication extends beyond the thesis. Whether you are writing for academic, professional, or public audiences, the ability to communicate your ideas clearly and engagingly is a valuable skill. This interactive workshop combines creative writing techniques with practical guidance on writing blogs during your PhD. Participants will explore how storytelling, writing craft, and finding their voice can strengthen their research communication, while also learning how blogs can enhance research visibility, impact, professional networking, and career development. Through examples and guided activities, attendees will develop ideas for blogs and other forms of research communication, helping them share their research with wider audiences in accessible and compelling ways.
