The MAITRE project provides media training to food science researchers to help them better communicate their research findings to journalists and the public. Over a 3-year period, the project will train 600 researchers through 50 training sessions in EU countries. The trainings teach researchers practical media skills like how to conduct interviews and work with different types of media. Both researchers and journalists benefit from a online platform that connects them and from in-person opportunities to network at the trainings. Upcoming trainings over the next few months will be held in several European countries and universities can apply to host a training.
