We will cover the following aspects:

  • Communicator types at the Science-Policy interface
  • Who is your target group and where and when can you reach them?
  • How do you speak “policy”?
  • How do you create a policy brief?
  • Hands-on exercise: Draft your own policy brief
  • Networking with policy-makers

Participants learn how to extract key messages from their papers, how to formulate them in a short, condensed manner and how to develop target-specific recommendations for decision makers.
