Event information

Short description:

How do you transform a scientific paper into a comic that grabs attention and is easily understood? In this masterclass, we'll walk you through the entire workflow, from the initial brief to the final comic, to convert research results into clear, memorable, and shareable visual stories. You'll see real-world examples of projects that achieved more citations, media coverage, and a stronger connection with their audience thanks to the comic format.

What will you learn?

You'll learn a step-by-step process that will allow you to translate your paper or project results into a visual narrative: from documentation, synopsis, and script, to sketching, final composition, and adaptations for different channels. You'll discover how to structure a scientific message to make it understandable and engaging without sacrificing rigor, and how comics can save you hours of explaining the same thing over and over again.

For whom:

If you are a researcher and want your results to be visually striking, stand out from the competition, and be understood beyond the academic sphere—for example, by journalists, institutions, funders, students, or the general public—this masterclass is for you.

This masterclass is also suitable for:

This masterclass is also for you if you are a science communication professional, a science communicator, a member of an R&D department, or anyone who needs to present complex information in a visually appealing, innovative, engaging, and accessible way for non-expert audiences.
