Training

As a workshop conference, training courses delivered alongside and in parallel with the conference will be a core part of the experience. Confirmed training courses include:

SAVVY Express Science Communication

SAVVY express, delivered by the New Zealand Science Media Centre, is an opportunity for researchers to practise communicating about their work in a compelling way for a general audience.

Participants in SAVVY Express receive individual coaching to help them speak on camera about their research, and receive a polished 90-second video edited from their best takes during the session as an added bonus.

Our intent is for delegates to be given opportunity to prepare their own videos, which will be compiled into a video proceedings for publication and showing on the final day of the event.

Comprehensive media training

Ideal for those who may need to present to the media, whether it's the findings of their research or in response to emergencies.

Presented by the Science Media Centre, this course will offer on-camera training, with a focus on crafting your message for clear and concise communication.

It will cover insights into changes in media and social media, and communication of risk and uncertainty.
