Graduate studies
What do we expect from students?
• Learn skills specific to theirdiscipline and other transferableskills (ex. communication)
• Plan and manage a researchproject
• Communicate their research to the community
• And… submit their thesis
How do they learn?
• Going through the curriculum (classes, projects, etc.)
• Supervisors
• Colleagues and members of theirresearch group [1,2,3]

Scientific communication
Methods, processes and channels used to communicate research
Scientific texts
Graduate students need to have skills for those tasks [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Integrating activities on scientificcommunication within a research group
• Using the existing community of practice
• Support on tasks they already have to do
• Availability of participants
• Habit of regular work

Outcomes
• Student appreciation of the activities = Very High
• Student reasons for participation“By curiosity at first. Then, the collective motivation these activities create. I am more productive in those moments and I feel less alone in this type of activity.” [Free translation from French]
• Professor perceptions “[These activities] address a pressing need related to the research activities of students and researchers in an original, effective and impactful way” [Free translation from French]

Ongoing and future projects
• Refine activities
• Assembling a toolkit
• Keep interest and motivation over time
• Implemented in a second research group
