Communication Workshops
The media is one of the most
influential sources of information on science
and technology to lay audiences. Both positive
and negative media coverage on a particular
technology plays a very crucial role in public
acceptance.
As part of MABIC’s
continuing efforts in engaging journalists
in communication workshops, we are organizing
two communication workshops. Click on the
