Workshop 3 | Future Challenges: Risk Communication
April 8th – 9th 2022
Nicosia, Cyprus
About this workshop
The workshop ‘Future challenges: Risk Communication’ was part of a series of workshops that covered future challenges and associated uncertainty. They were interactive events using a flipped classroom concept: participants study theory (knowledge and comprehension) in advance so class time could focus on higher level skills (application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation) in discussions and exercises. The workshop was a continuation of the online course ‘Basics of Risk Communication’ that was held in November 2021.
Programme
The programme of the workshop covered communication of risk-related research to a range of audiences, including media, as part of a solid communication strategy. We reflected together on how to handle conflicts and controversies in communication. Each participant received support and personalised feedback on communication of their own research.
Who could join
The workshop was open to both external students that were not involved in the Pyrolife project as well as early stage researchers (ESRs) who took part in the project. It was a continuation of the online course ‘Basics of Risk Communication’ that was held in November 2021.

The fees (130 Euros for ESR Students; 180 Euros for external participants) covered the costs of the venue and resource persons. The fees did not cover accomodation and meals during the workshop.
