Dear all,
I'm hoping you can share some best practice with equipping researchers
for outreach purposes. We're looking at both encouraging our researchers
to become more involved with outreach and also provide training support
to demonstrate that we're committed to enhancing their skills, as well
as making them better communicators. To do this we're thinking of
creating different semi-formal training routes - matched to people's
interests and the sort of outreach they want to do (writing content,
talking to people, taking tours, acting as media spokespeople etc).
Do any of you do this, provide prescribed or recommended training for
your researchers working in outreach, and how do you do it? What's the
uptake like, do people feel supported and positive about it or does it
put them off? Any thoughts?
Thanks for your input,
Louisa
