Welcome to the Researcher Academy's
Research Communication Programme
Programme convenor: Dr Andrew Rowe
The ability to communicate your research is of huge importance as it increases the visibility of your profile and the impact of your work. The skills required for you to translate complex findings into accessible and engaging information, for numerous users, is essential; particularly as we navigate the complexities of a digital world. In fact, plans for research communication are a requirement in many research funding applications and REF 2029 encourages different kinds of research outputs.
