Research communication plays an increasingly important role in contemporary societies. Young researchers are expected to start from an early stage to present their research to different types of audiences. It is, therefore, very important to test their communication skills and build their confidence through different channels such as those offered by NetMAR. This blog post explores various levels of research communication and substantiates its findings with examples from the field of Medieval Studies.July 1, 2022
NetMAR is pleased to invite medievalists to attend the presentations of the network's researchers at the International Medieval Congress (IMC), the Europe’s largest forum for sharing ideas in medieval studies, hosted by the University of Leeds.
