Hi Diane You could try the Isotope site (http://isotope.open.ac.uk/). Use the Search function and tick 'Training opporunities'. We've tried to list as many of the courses that we know of. If you come across others then they can be added to the site by registered members. Anyone with an interest can join the site - it's free to join and use. Select Create new account from the homepage if you or your students are interested in joining. Best wishes Rick ________________________________________ From: dianne stilwell [[log in to unmask]] Sent: 04 November 2010 11:12 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [PSCI-COM] Sources of information on media training and media familiarisation (apologies for cross posting) Request for help please. Is there a one-stop shop, website, publication or similar, that lists opportunities for media training, self-help media training resources and media familiarisation-type courses? I'm NOT looking for recommendations for media trainers (although if you are a media trainer and you are running courses that research scientists can attend please let me know). I'm looking to pull together a resource to send to a disparate group of PhD students and young researchers, spread throughout the UK. We're probably not in the market to do much media training ourselves (other than for key spokespeople) - but we'd like "our" students to be aware of what is out there and be able to sign up for courses if they are so inclined. So for starters: - Individual universities' courses? - Reseach council courses? - Wellcome Trust - Science Media Centre - Learned socs and professional bodies (specific examples please) - Sense about Science's Voice of Young Science events - British Science Association's media fellowships White, Evans, Mihill "Hitting the Headlines" (but I think it's out of print) I'm interested in stuff for working research scientists - not scientists who want to be journalists or trainee press officers. All help very gratefully received - thanks in advance Best wishes - Dianne Dianne Stilwell Communications Consultant 88 Munster Road Teddington Middx TW11 9LW +44 (0)20 8977 6520 +44 (0)7957 200214 [log in to unmask] On Mondays to Wednesdays I'm Head of Communications at UK Energy Research Centre.
