Aims of the Programme
The course aims to strengthen students’ ability to communicate sustainability related research to non-expert audiences. Participants develop skills in science communication, storytelling, teamwork, and public speaking while learning how to make complex research engaging, accessible, and relevant.
Content & Methods
The programme combines expert input, coaching sessions, peer learning, collaborative feedback, practical communication exercises, and a final live 3-Minute Thesis event with a jury and audience participation.
Key Topics
Students explore sustainability and science communication, information literacy, storytelling, visual communication, teamwork, constructive feedback, public engagement, and presentation techniques. The seminar culminates in a 3-Minute Thesis presentation, where participants communicate their research in a clear and compelling way.
