Media training for researchers: course schedule 2012 

The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) supports practice-oriented media training courses for scientists. The courses are offered in German and French. They are aimed primarily at researchers receiving support from the SNSF (fellowships and research grants), the Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI)or the Gebert Rüf Stiftung (GRS). However, they are also open to other advanced researchers. The course schedule for 2012 is now available.

During the two-day courses, researchers will learn how to deal with representatives of the media. What does a journalist expect from me? How should I formulate my message? What is the best way to prepare for an interview? These and similar questions will be answered by experienced journalists and communication experts. The course is practice-oriented and sufficient time is reserved for role plays in front of a live camera.

The courses in German will take place at the MAZ in Lucerne on the following dates:

  • 20/21 January 2012
  • 8/9 June 2012
  • 9/10 November 2012

The courses in French will take place at the Maison de la communication in Lausanne on the following dates:

  • 11/12 May 2012
  • 7/8 September 2012

A media training brush-up course for researchers who are experienced in dealing with the media or have completed a media training course will take place on:

  • 9 December 2011 and 13 December 2012 (Lucerne)
  • 9 November 2012 (Lausanne)
