SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION
In todays’ competitive academic environment scientists need to know how to effectively communicate with their peers; beginning with coming up with a research idea, writing the proposal to communicating it. Beyond this ,researchers need to understand the academic landscape and the research lifecycle process and how it can make them competitive.

We support published researchers , on how to translate their published work for various audiences. This is done through interactive workshops, where we bring science media partners, and science communication specialists and guide scientists how they can effectively communicate with different publics.
