Free media training for all AHRC/ESRC-funded academics

Free media training for all AHRC/ESRC-funded academics

The ESRC media team are offering researchers at the University of Leeds a free one-day media training session.

The training is an opportunity for researchers funded by ESRC or AHRC, no matter what stage of their career, to develop their skills and feel comfortable handling media interviews. Whether a PhD student, postdoctoral researcher or senior fellow, the new practical media training session provides the guidance needed to engage the media with confidence - and plenty of opportunity to practice.

In small group settings run by journalists, the sessions are full of simulations providing each delegate with expert advice, allowing them to develop their interview technique, explain the findings of their research, and pitch their story.

The course is tailor-made for academics no matter what stage of their career, including those with little or no experience of interacting with the media.

This session will take place on the 13 September 2018. Further details about this training and how to register can be found via the ESRC website.
