MAITRE recognises the importance of equipping researchers with the tools with which skilled media professionals address the public. Our tailor-made media training seminars go over the most important points researchers should be aware of when interacting with the media, thus facilitating their research communication. Supported by professional journalistic content, Maitre workshops are mainly characterised by the hands-on practice for participants. As well as the training sessions themselves, Maitre seminars aim to foster debate, discussion and dialogue between the participating researchers and the journalists hosting the workshops. All our courses are designed exclusively for food and nutrition scientists and are tutored by leading and experienced journalists.
