Science communication is essential. It helps demystify robotics and AI for a broad range of people including policy makers, business leaders, and the public. As a researcher, mastering this skill can not only enhance your communication abilities but also expand your network and increase the visibility and impact of your work.

In this three-hour session, leading science communicators in robotics and AI will teach you how to clearly and concisely explain your research to non-specialists. You’ll learn how to avoid hype, how to find suitable images and videos to illustrate your work, and where to start with social media. We’ll hear from a leading robotics journalist on how to deal with media and how to get your story out to a wider audience.

This is a hands-on session with exercises for you to take part in throughout the course. Therefore, please come prepared with an idea about a piece of research you’d like to communicate about.

Agenda

Part 1: How to communicate your work to a broader audience

  • The importance of science communication
  • How to produce a short summary of your research for communication via social media channels
  • How to expand your outline to write a complete blog post
  • How to find and use suitable images
  • How to avoid hype when communicating your research
  • Unconventional ways of doing science communication

Part 2: How to make videos about your robots

  • The value of video
  • Tips on making a video

Part 3: Working with media

  • Why bother talking to media anyway?
  • How media works and what it’s good and bad at
  • How to pitch media a story
  • How to work with your press office
