<div dir="ltr"><b>Geoscience Communication School</b><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div>Perugia, Italy, 10-16 April 2016</div><div><br></div><div>The
school is organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Physics
(<a href="http://www.ictp.it" target="_blank">ICTP</a>) in collaboration with the Scuola Superiore di Studi Avanzati
(<a href="http://www.sissa.it" target="_blank">SISSA</a>), the Contaminated Land: Applications In Real Environments
(<a href="http://www.claire.co.uk/" target="_blank">CL:AIRE</a>) and local organization provided by island of meetings (<a href="http://www.islandofmeetings.com/" target="_blank">iom</a>).<br></div><div><br></div><div>Attending
the school students will learn how to effectively convey important
research results to a public of both experts and laypeople. </div><div><br></div><div>Students will learn how:</div><div>- <b>to write scientific papers, </b></div><div><b>- to structure poster and talks for conference presentation, </b></div><div><b>- to write proposals at international level, </b></div><div><b>- to communicate science to general public, students, and policymakers</b>,</div><div><b>- to communicate through art and laboratories</b></div><div><b>- to communicate through social networks and internet</b></div><div><br></div><div>Also
students will receive coaching from experienced researchers (Marie
Curie Alumni) and Euraxess experts on proposal and report drafting.
Laboratory material and representatives of Italian Space Agency and
European Space Agency (to be confirmed) will focus part of the school
specifically to the Geosciences.</div><div><br></div><div>Being involved
in science communication activities will allow the students to gain
communication technical skills that will be useful in their wider lives
and will remind the students that science is an heritage that needs to
be shared as a part of our culture. </div><div><br></div><div>The school
has the aim of offering overview and training of scientific
communication skills in all its forms. The school will treat
communication not only with an "educative aim" but also with a
"scientific aim". The lecturers will therefore not only present an
overview of science communication from a theoretical point of view, but
also will offer practical activities on abstract/paper writing and
poster editing, on proposal and report drafting, and on how to improve
communication to policymakers. All the lectures will be accompained by
laboratories and students will experience concrete activities: for
example <b>each student will present a poster at the beginning of
the school and posters will be corrected and improved at the end
applying what learned during the school</b>; at the end of the
school students will try to provide accurate but concise information
about their science to the general public <b>recording a short movie (famelab-like) which will be published into the facebook group </b>of the school to get feedbacks. </div><div><br></div><div>Lecturers: <a href="http://users.ictp.it/%7Ernoghero/training/geoscience_communication_school/speakers2.html" target="_blank">http://users.ictp.it /~rnoghero/training/geoscience_communication_school/speakers2.html</a></div><div><br></div><div><b>Applications<br></b>The School is open to graduate students, PhD students and early career researchers.<br>All the info available at the website <a href="http://users.ictp.it/%7Ernoghero/training/geoscience_communication_school/" target="_blank">http://users.ictp.it/~rnoghero/training/geoscience_communication_school/</a> </div><div>Facebook group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/416805438503447/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/events/416805438503447/</a> </div><div><br><b>Registration </b></div><div><a href="http://www.islandofmeetings.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53&Itemid=151&lang=en" target="_blank">http://www.islandofmeetings.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53&Itemid=151&lang=en</a><br><br><b>Dates</b><br>Early bird registration deadline 31 October 2015</div><div>Registration deadline 15 February 2016<br><br><b>Contacts</b><br>Rita Nogherotto<br><font color="#0072c6"><a href="mailto:rnoghero@ictp.it" target="_blank">rnoghero@ictp.it</a></font><br><br><b>Registration fees</b></div><div>Early bird registration fee: 300€</div><div>Registration fee 380€</div><div><b><br></b></div><b>School Location</b><br>Perugia (Italy).<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br clear="all"></font></span><br></div></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Rita Nogherotto , Ph.D<br><div>
