Throughout this course, you will gain confidence that your communication efforts are focussed on the right places, and will deliver upon your - or your organisation’s - priorities. You will also learn how to communicate about strategy with other leaders, and start developing your reputation as a genuinely strategic thinker and leader. Further, we will help you develop a strategy that you can implement immediately, based on feedback during the course.

In this intensive five-day program, you will learn:

• How to develop the science communication objectives that deliver upon organisational goals and deliver measurable impact.
• How to use data to segment audiences and tailor communication activities accordingly.
• How to evaluate a communication strategy to empirically demonstrate its effectiveness.  
• How to build strategic relationships with the most important stakeholders.
• How to communicate about strategy, and be recognised as a genuinely strategic thinker and leader.

Led by Dr. Matthew Nurse, a science communication academic with 20 years’ practical experience in leading science and public policy communication strategies. This course can be taken in-person or entirely online.
