The EU-supported SCOOP project has designed a series of Masterclasses to maximise the dissemination and transfer of knowledge from Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities research funded under the 6th and 7th Framework Programmes.

This Communication Masterclass has been developed specifically for Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities researchers.  Through interactive workshops and practical activities the course aims to support researchers in improving their communication skills. The course will be delivered by a multi-disciplinary team consisting of SSH researchers and communication experts.

Purpose
The purposes of the Communication Masterclass are to:

Present the context of EU policy making and outline their needs for the scientific evidence

• Highlight current opportunities and drivers for communicating with policy makers
• Develop practical skills and strategies for maximising your communication approaches
• Provide a framework to learn directly from the course Tutors and other Masterclass delegates what does - and doesn't! - work
