Webinar

A free training webinar for researchers in CABI Member countries

Overview

Scientific research can be complex, technical and full of specialist language. But for research to influence policy, inform public debate, attract support or reach wider audiences, it needs to be communicated clearly.

This one-hour training webinar will help researchers in CABI Member countries simplify scientific information without compromising its meaning. Participants will explore practical ways to explain complex concepts, translate technical terms into plain language, and present numbers and statistics in a way that is clear, accurate and accessible to non-specialist audiences.

The session is designed for researchers who want to make their work easier to understand while maintaining scientific accuracy and credibility.

Who is eligible to attend?

This training is for:

• Researchers based in CABI member countries (both natural and social sciences)
• CABI scientists who are interested in increasing the reach, relevance, and impact of their research

What the training will cover

After this training session, researchers will be able to:

• Use numbers and statistics effectively without overwhelming their audience
• Explain complex scientific concepts in a way that is easy for non-specialists to understand
• Translate scientific terms into plain language without losing meaning
