Theater performance: Science Communication: Rewarded!

In these times of change and major challenges, communicating openly about research (science communication) is more important than ever. But how does science communication become a fully-fledged part of academic work? Many scientists are willing, but they need proper support, recognition and rewarding. These are key themes covered in the interactive theatre performance SCIENCE COMMUNICATION: REWARDED! Using recognisable situations, the actors challenge you to engage with each other about the possibilities and dilemmas relating to recognising and rewarding science communication at your university. The performance gets you thinking. Together with the actors, you and your colleagues work on specific suggestions to take action.

At the end of the performance, you will have a better understanding of the position of science communication at your university. You will have gained ideas on how to promote the embedding of science communication. The play is open to both scientific and support staff members working at Maastricht University. The Maastricht Young Academy is happy to invite you to join the discussion and the drinks afterwards.

For who? All staff members at Maastricht University, regardless of research topic or position. The performance will be in English. 

When and where? Tuesday 18 June 2024 between 14:30 and 17:30 at Paul-Henri Spaaklaan 1, Maastricht. The performance will take place in the learning spaces, on the ground floor of the building behind the catering facilities in the central hallway.

How? The registration deadline has been extended; register before 11 June. Seats are limited, so don’t wait until the last moment!
