We have attracted about 70 participants, both online and offline.

I was in charge of organising two activities:

▪️ REACHING WIDER AUDIENCES
Seminar aimed to educate doctoral researchers how to communicate thei research through wider audiences by utilising social media tools. The seminar included a presentation from Ines Marques Ribeiro, a communication specialist to the Ministry of Defense of Portugal, and has provided attendees with a communication tookit designed specially for the workshop by @drofwhat

▪️ THE AFTER PHD JOURNEY
Workshop was an interactive game that aimed to engage participants to explore different opportunities for their future after their PhD. For this workshop, I have designed a game along and have provided participants with personas, visuals, stickers, and questions to support discussion and facilitate the activity. Through this game, the participants came out with an understanding of how to strategically plan career steps and what are some of the most important elements in achieving their goals(such as different sources and outlets of research communication, networking, and planning ) which they can later apply to their personal career goals. Furthermore, by working with others and analysing scenarios, types of PhDs and career interests (e.g. academic vs industry), they received insights into different career opportunities they can take in their future. This workshop allows for an insightful and interactive understanding of how research works in other parts of the world and provides indirect sources for networking. Show less
