Communicating science
The course is a university-wide part of the doctoral program at Karlstad University.
The overall purpose of the course is to enhance the ability of doctoral students/researchers to engage in popular science presentation and dissemination of scientific results and ideas. An important goal is to improve participants' capacity for knowledge dissemination and communication with the broader society, including the general public, media, and other stakeholders. Another objective is to enhance the ability to communicate and present to researchers in other fields than their own.
In line with the overarching purpose of the university's common doctoral courses, one of the course's aims is also to broaden participants' knowledge of perspectives and practices in various research areas and contribute to the exchange of experiences among participants from different scientific fields.
The course is scheduled to start at the end of January or in early February 2026.
