Postdoctoral training This course offers a package of outreach and public engagement skills training for postgraduate and post-doctoral researchers from discipline. The training will enable you to develop key skills in this exciting, enjoyable and expanding field. "The course really made me think about things I had not thought about before - how do you engage with the public and people who don't actually research in your field? What works and what doesn't?" (Participant, 07/08 - see more comments below) [Images and text from University of Southampton website]
