EUTOPIA_HEALTH Hosts Training on Impact and Science Communication at NOVA

24 de January, 2025

Maximising the impact of research and effectively communicating scientific discoveries are critical challenges for researchers worldwide. With this in mind, the EUTOPIA_HEALTH project hosted two innovative training sessions on the 16th and 17th of January 2025 at NOVA University Lisbon, focusing on research impact and science communication. 

The event brought together around 20 researchers and science management professionals from seven academic units of NOVA. Over two days, participants explored tools and strategies to enhance the relevance of their work and make it more accessible to diverse audiences. 

Day 1: Research Impact 

Led by Johan Emanuel from the University of Gothenburg, the first session delved into best practices for boosting the impact of scientific research. Topics included collaborating with stakeholders, securing funding, and demonstrating the value of research in both national and European contexts. 

Day 2: Science Communication 

The second day focused on developing communication skills, with Joana Branco from Science Crunchers facilitating the session. Participants practised creating clear and compelling scientific narratives tailored to different audiences, gaining practical techniques to enhance the visibility and reach of their research.
