“We’re already gaining some really powerful insights. A key takeaway for me so far is how vitally important communication is. It’s not necessarily the research idea you’re selling, it’s about how it can be applied. An idea might be able to be applied in several different ways and it’s not necessarily the original idea that is the one that’s going to fly.” - Katja Rosenvold, Science Impact Leader at AgResearch

At the end of the workshop you will have:
