Extension of the application submission for the Ambassadors’ training program

The Academy of Ambassadors is aiming to empower the participants’ skills in science
communication, to further develop their professional capacities and to feature them as main
spokespeople of SciCo’s values and goals.
The main goal of the program is for the participants to make them active in their fields of
work by developing their personal and professional skills. So that this can be realized, the
participants should be willing to acknowledge their wishes and desires, their needs and

1. Customised training sessions (according to the profile of each participant)
