Training in Science Communication in Astrophysics: https://vulgarisation.sciencesconf.org/

How can you explain your dissertation to a child in just a few minutes? How do you talk about science on camera, write for a non-specialist audience, or create a podcast? How do you adapt your message for schoolchildren, the general public, older adults, or people with disabilities?
Science communication has become an essential skill for researchers. Yet it remains largely absent from scientific training programs. As a result, young scientists are regularly called upon to teach, present their research, or participate in science outreach initiatives without necessarily having been trained in the methods, tools, and various roles involved in science communication.

This six-day intensive workshop is primarily intended for doctoral students and early-career researchers. Held at the Paris Observatory – PSL, on the Meudon campus, it offers participants the opportunity to learn science communication by practicing it with a variety of audiences.
The workshop will take place from October 5 to 10, 2026, during the Fête de la Science, providing an ideal setting to gradually transition from theory to practice.
