Goal: 

Following the introductory media training, this blog training is the next step towards VVSOR’s goal to increase the visibility of statisticians and OR-researchers in the media. (But note that with participating in the training, you are not committing to any media exposure; only if you decide to post your blog yourself.)

About the training:

During this training you learn how to write a blog post, but also how you start a blog in a way that contributes to your development as a researcher. The first online group session follows the path from strategy to thinking up topics to write about. After this session you set up, write, and publish your first blog post as a homework assignment. The trainer will give you feedback on your setup and first draft. The second online meeting is about finalizing your blog post and being read.

Although the main focus in the training is on publishing about research, most topics of the training can also be applied in publishing, for example, about interesting work projects.

The trainer is Hermen Visser of Visser Visible Communication.
