The purpose of the training is to build the skills and confidence of researchers to reach policymakers and the broader public with their research findings through the media. Hopefully, this will increase researchers’ chances of influencing policy and personal decisions. It will also support the university’s efforts to increase the translation of research into useful products, policies, and practices for society. Additionally, it will widen the scope of the published research to audiences outside of academia as well as help participants communicate their research.
