We team up with the RHET AI Center to offer this structured training focused on communicative competence, designed to improve presentation, visualization, and networking skills.
Workshop 2: Project Development Series
Dates: Thursday, April 11 and Friday, April 12 (2 days) Location: MPI-IS Tübingen Time: 9:30 – 16:00 Trainers: Dr. Markus Gottschling and Salina Weber Credits: 1 program credit
Communicating AI research to non-scientists is an exciting and rewarding challenge! It requires explaining complex mathematical principles in a way that is both understandable and engaging, while avoiding science fiction narratives. We are thrilled to offer this workshop series to address this issue by providing participants with concrete strategies and tips for communicating their research in a clear and vivid manner. Join us and let's make AI research accessible to everyone!
The experienced trainers of the University of Tübingen's RHET AI Center offer two workshops this year for IMPRS-IS scholars: First, the “Foundations of Science Communication” series, in which participants build stylistic, visual, and performative skills in AI science communication. Second, we offer the “Project Development” series, which focuses on helping you bring your own projects to life using design thinking principles and other creative techniques. The workshops can be taken independently of one another. However, if you have already attended the Foundations, you will find it easier to participate in the Project Development Series.
Objectives for this Training: • Plan your own science communication project! • Developing appropriate communication formats for your own research • Getting to know creative techniques & creating routines • Working on your own format with the whole development process from concept to prototype • Promote your personal career development and increase your visibility in research and media
