The Science Basement Follow-up Workshops
We are pleased to invite you and/or your team to a follow-up opportunity linked to the E-FLIRT workshop series hosted by The Science Basement. This format offers E-FLIRT participants the chance to showcase and share what they have learned during the workshops, while also reflecting on their E-FLIRT experience. As part of the programme, the Science Basement will host a public communication skills workshop to support participants in preparing for this.
While this science communication format is normally fee-based, the costs will be fully covered for E-FLIRT participants, so participation is free of charge.
At this stage, we are simply gathering expressions of interest to see whether there is enough enthusiasm for this format to move forward. Expressing interest is non-binding and does not commit you to participate.
