Course description and aims
This is a programme for providing opportunities for students to think again about the relations between science and society, the significance of their own professional fields in society etc., so that they can broaden their viewpoints by observing and interacting with overseas science communication organisations.
The internship is designed to make the students experience the importance of communication between people so that they can nurture rich social capabilities while realizing their positions as researchers.
Student learning outcomes
Through this programme, students will understand the relationships between science and society and how different methods of science communication are being applied in different organisations to communicate to different audiences.
Students will also be able to strengthen their English and communication skills.
