This training course is designed for researchers and early career scientists who want to improve their ability to communicate effectively through social media. Without aiming to turn scientists into influencers, the course provides practical tools to develop a personal or institutional online presence, build visibility and engage with diverse audiences.
Participants will explore the logic of platforms, experiment with content production (including short-form videos), and reflect on how to navigate challenges like misinformation, echo chambers, and digital polarization. Through a mix of theory and hands-on exercises, the course offers a critical introduction to science communication in the digital age.
