Communicating for impact outside academia [St Lucia]
In this climate of knowledge exchange and community engagement, communicating to an audience outside the academic world is becoming increasingly important for research professionals. Not only do universities want their academic staff to develop a profile and be seen in the public arena, but there also is an educated and interested community out there keen to hear what goes on within Academia.
Learning how to communicate effectively to different audiences and across different mediums for knowledge exchange and community engagement is a key skill for any researcher who wants to create change.
This workshop is presented by Dr Richard Murray from the School of Communication and the Arts.
About Impact and influence
Your research may have the potential to impact both policy and practice and influence the broader community in a number of ways. Knowing how and where to communicate your research, and understanding how to do so ethically and responsibly, will ensure your research makes an impact.
