In the webinar we considered:
- The international perspective and global researcher mobility – can doing more public engagement and science communication broaden your perspective and experiences?
- Recent developments – what is on offer regarding resources, new opportunities and support?
- Personal perspective – has engaging in science communication and public engagement with science helped researchers’ skills and career development, or changed their perspective?
