*Target group / (professionals who want to …. and doctoral students who wants to ….)
*Overall Course Goal / (short, one sentence)
Increase awareness regarding sustainability aspects within each of the PhD students own research fields.
Higher Education Credits/ “Points” / 2
*Ingress Short Summary and aims / (max. 5 lines)
This very appreciated and optional, two-day course that has been run for several years at different universities and all students are encouraged to take it! You can choose to take it in English or Swedish.
This course gives the participants a lot of interview training and the final result should be usable in a real interview situation.
*cont… Summary and aims / (max. 10 lines, continuing the field above)
Graduate students at the research school are offered an advanced course in how to communicate research in media. There will be some summary from the course ”Research Communication in media - step one”, but we recommend that you have participated in step one.This training is focused on interview training and how to formulate concrete messages for your specific research project.
*Learning outcomes / (USE ACTIVE WORDS reason about, describe, handle, apply, use, conduct, explain, analyse and evaluate. Use headers and bullets if possible)
Upon successful completion of the course, participants should be able to:
·  Create a special message bank for your research!
·  Design a Communication strategy for the research!
·  Handle and prepare a Radio- and TV Interview
*Course content / (brief “popular” description of main content and important steps)
You will be working beforehand with the course leader to formulate messages so that you are well prepared for the interview situation when you come to the
”Research Communication in media - step two”. This means that you will have e-mail and phone communication with the course leader two/three weeks before
the course to get good, interesting and reliable messages about your research, that you can use in your future communication.
Expected pre-knowledge / (courses or knowledge/experience required to follow course)
The best thing is if you have attended ”Research Communication in media - step one”

Day 1: xxday, xx May,
09:00-09:45:
First physical meeting is initiated with a short round table approach to let each person introduce themselves and (prepared in advance) a 0,5 pager with description of the research area.
09:45-10:30
Lecture on sustainability in general including discussions and some interesting examples for reflection in order to understand the complexity and multi-faceted problems which needs to be solved.
Concepts maps conducted by all PhD students in order to measure their current position and understanding of what sustainability means for each person.
After first meeting, feedback on the 0,5 pager and concept map.
Task for 2nd meeting add sustainability aspects to the 0,5 pager.
Second meeting, bring updated 0,5 pager (now 1 pager).
This meeting will have focus “guest lecturers” on the three different aspects of sustainability, 2 x 45minutes on each topic economy, environment, social with a lot of interaction and discussion out of the PhD students own research questions and hand ins.
Feedback and updated 1 pager for last meeting (now 2 pages with a more solid approach on how to tackle sustainability in the specific research field.
Last meeting, the PhD student now has a 2 page document which will be presented for 4 others in smaller groups and discussed (15 minutes presentation, 10 minutes discussion on each).
The last meeting will also bring up the complexity and overall dilemma with sustainability such as ethics/morals/religion/values/laws/tradeoffs etc…
A conceptual map will be done as a final exercise and the new map will be compared vs. the one made when starting the course to see/measure the progression.
The written and presented material could be useful for papers and theses in a near future and will give a good base for sustainable development for our societies. Performing sustainable research will lead to sustainable development!
(to be moved above and completed with active words) Leraning outcomes are:
-Increased awareness on sustainable development for each participation individual (will be measured!).
-Each PhD student gains good knowledge on how to position the individual research area in a wider context addressing bot the triple bottom line as well as the lifecycle perspective in a sound manner within the research field.
Travelling directions incl. google map and coordinates (to be added before first lecture)
