RESEARCH COMMUNICATION PROGRAM

The Research Communication Program (RCP) is a flagship program of the Leaders of Africa Institute. The ability to effectively communicate research findings is more critical than ever. As society faces complex challenges — from climate change and public health crises to social inequality and technological innovation — research has the potential to drive meaningful change. The impact of research depends not just on the quality of the work, but on how well it is communicated to those who can act on it. The Research Communication Program equips researchers, faculty, practitioners, and advocates with the skills and strategies needed to effectively communicate their research and findings to a variety of audiences, including academic peers, policymakers, and the general public. The program is open to all fields from public health to social science and is in a live virtual format accessible anywhere. The program covers best practices for writing research briefs, creating policy memos, and engaging with media, as well as techniques for presenting complex information in an accessible and impactful way.
