Workshop Today for Communicating Research to Various Audiences
Postponed: The Division of Research and Innovation is hosting a series of research funding workshops for on-campus investigators this semester. The next workshop, "Presentations and Pitches: Communicating Your Research to Various Audiences," has been postponed. The new workshop will take place from 2-4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 2. Stay tuned for more information about the new location for the event.
Cynthia Sides, director of research advancement, will lead this workshop, focusing on factors to consider when describing your research to specific audiences and how to craft your communications to maximize your research points. They will offer specific steps to follow and questions to answer when pitching research ideas.
Attendees should bring a technical short paragraph (half page maximum) describing their research to an abstract reviewer for a national conference in their field and be prepared to workshop their descriptions with Sides and the workshop attendees. The workshop will be interactive, so we ask that participants be prepared to engage with their descriptions in real time. All U of A faculty and staff involved in research funding on campus are welcome to attend.
RSVP for the in-person event here.
