Work experience (science communication) opportunity in London (UK)

Here’s a description of the opportunity being offered by Proof Communication,

Work experience opportunity in London Science Communication Firm

Richard Moss Director, Proof Communication

Proof is looking for a bright, ambitious young individual to undertake a couple of weeks of work experience in our London office. If you know of anyone seeking a real insight into the world of science communication and technical PR, please get in touch – info@proofcommunication.com

This was posted in one of my LinkedIn groups (Science Public Relations) fairly recently (Jan. 11, 2014 … I believe). I wasn’t able to find any additional information about the opportunity on the company website but Proof Communication does have this to say about itself on its homepage,

Proof specialises in helping science, engineering, and technology organisations communicate clearly with the people they need to influence.

We work for national science labs; international science facilities; global technology companies; European funded research projects; universities; multinational engineering businesses; and start-ups. Part of an international network of similar-sized agencies, we operate in more than 26 countries around the world. [emphasis mine]

We support organisations with complexity at their heart. We help them explain that complexity in ways that non-specialists can understand and appreciate.

Proof is a member of something called the Public Relations Network (PRN), which is how they can claim to have a global reach, from the PRN homepage,

 PRN is a global collective of like minded Public Relations specialists, dedicated to providing high level consultancy and quality local support for worldwide PR campaigns. PRN has affiliate PR agencies based across Europe, Africa, America, AsiaPac and Australasia.

Our goal is your PR success.

The list of countries which hosts a member public relations company include: Australia, Morocco, Poland, Romania, China, Venezuela, Austria and more, with up to 26 countries in total. It seems the network accepts only one member agency per country.

Getting back to Proof Communication, good luck to the bright, ambitious young individuals applying for work experience!
