Who: PhD students / early-career and senior researchers working in all fields related to chemicals, health and the environment

What: A workshop organized by the Swedish Academic Consortium on Chemical

write a press release for your own research. Also, be here one day early and join
the SWACCS Regulatory Toxicology II course’s concept mapping workshop before
JAWS, on August 28th!

Preliminary schedule:
Day 1:

  • Presentations and perspectives on the topic “Can you be a scientist and an
    activist at the same time?”

  • Dinner

Day 2:

  • Workshop – how to write a press release and/or news article for your own
    research. Present and discuss your research with the other participants!

  • Mingle / After Work


Why: Because networking is fun; learning how to announce your scientific
achievements to a broader audience is important; meeting other junior
researchers within and outside of your own field opens up new opportunities; as a
PhD student you can get credits; and much more...
