This course will be presented by Dr Marina Joubert and is designed to help researchers and communication professionals to get to grips with the principles and practice of effective science communication, as well as public engagement with science. Across all modules of the 2021 edition of this course, we will reflect on the effect of the global Covid-19 pandemic, and its implications for public science engagement, with a focus on what we have learned that we can use to improve future science communication activities.

The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) is providing support for around 30 early career scientists with an affiliation with ICES member countries to participate in the World Fisheries Congress (WFC2021). This support will cover the cost of a virtual registration fee (A$300 for students and A$450 for non-student early career scientists). This is a great opportunity for early career scientists to be supported to participate in this global fisheries congress. As limited funds are available, applicants will be selected based on how well their application aligns with the symposium themes.
