Building science communication capacity across Europe
Helping research organisations across Europe equip scientists and researchers with the communication skills that make their work visible, fundable, and impactful, with peers, policymakers, funders, and the public.
Trusted by leading research institutions across Europe, including CERN, Innsbruck University, and the Society for Experimental Biology:
Programmes and training delivered in English, supporting native and non-native speakers communicating in international research environments.
Our science communication and communication skills courses build practical, transferrable skills that can be applied when engaging local audiences.
We offer practical training, intensive programmes, and strategic support in person and online.
Led by researcher and communication specialist, Suzanne Whitby, who has 20+ years of international experience, and who has been helping researchers and scientists share their work since 2011.
Helping researchers, scientists and staff build skills to communicate complex ideas with clarity and confidence.
Three ways to build communication capacity in your institution. Choose the approach that fits your needs.
Communication Training
Practical workshops and skills-building sessions
From multi-day workshops to 2-hour essential skills sessions, our training covers four core areas: presenting and speaking, visual communication, outreach and public engagement, and professional communication.
Immersive Programmes
Deep learning experiences that build lasting confidence
In-person day- and week-long intensives and semester-long programmes, including the Research Communication Intensive, and our SciComm Impact Week that culminates in a public showcase event.
Strategic Support
Build your institution’s long-term science communication capacity
Workshops, training, and small group advisory to build the expertise, strategy, and systems that make science communication skills transferable, repeatable, and sustainable across research teams and institutions.
SciComm Success is committed to helping scientists, researchers,
and research teams share their work with experts and non-experts alike.
SciComm Success delivers training online and in person across Europe.
Where depth and transformation matter most, we believe in the irreplaceable value of in-person learning. That’s why we deliver multi-day workshops, and training for retreats, intensives, doctoral programmes live and in person, with the option to incorporate a blended learning approach.
Our online trainings are designed to the same standard: live, interactive, and built around practice and feedback rather than passive delivery. We deliver these online courses, like our essential skills sessions, worldwide via Zoom.

Futures-oriented approach:
We help researchers think strategically about their impact, careers, and communication – not just presentation techniques.
+PLUS Communication across contexts:
Science communication isn’t just public outreach. That’s why we help researchers communicate effectively at every stage of their career, whether that means building scientific presentation skills, framing messages for policy engagement, raising their research profile for potential employers, or sharing their work with the public.
What we believe
In a nutshell: science communication matters.
We live in a complex world, full of urgent challenges and untapped opportunities.
We believe science and research help us understand that world, navigate risks, and find better ways forward.
And we believe communication is the bridge.
Whether it’s sharing ideas with peers, engaging the public, or informing policy, the ability to communicate science clearly and confidently is a powerful tool for progress.
Our small international team works Europe-wide. We’d love to work with you, too.
