The Communication Skills for Impact Workshop Series is a collection of online, researcher‑focused sessions created by GACD and collaboration partners. The series is designed to help you communicate your science more effectively – so that your work is not only heard, but genuinely taken up by funders, policymakers, practitioners, and the communities you aim to serve.
If you are looking to make your research land in the right places – and make a stronger case for its importance – this series and the resources will give you the tools to do exactly that.
Whether you are new to communication or already experienced, these workshops are designed to offer fresh insights and skills that will elevate how you share your research. There is something valuable here for anyone who wants their work to have greater influence and uptake.
