IUFRO-SPDC, in close cooperation with IUFRO Working Party 9.01.02 Communication and Public Relations, FAO and the Chinese Academy of Forestry is organizing a two-day training workshop with focus on best practices in science communication and science-policy interactions.
The training workshop aims at explaining concepts and methods of basic communication and public relation tools and their practical application to forest science. Participants will learn about tools for external communication, for communication with the media and sharing of information through the Internet; understand social media and other recent communication advances in communicating about science; and become familiar with the role of communication in the interactions between the forest science community and policy makers.
As an additional benefit, participants accepted for the training workshop will also be offered a support package to attend the 2nd Asia Pacific Forestry Week covering travel and subsistence during their stay in Beijing.
