In today's fast-paced world, the ability to effectively communicate your research is essential for engaging your audience and increasing the reach and impact of your work. It could be: your bachelor, master, or PhD thesis, or a proposal or project outside of your studies.

Join our Popular Writing workshop, where trainer Frank Nuijens, with over 25 years of experience in science communication, will guide you through a five-step writing process that will help you craft a clear and effective popular science text that you can apply in your work and studies.
