Scientific Presentation – Getting it Right (07./08./15.05.2024)

A good presentation begins with good preparation. In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to improve your presentation skills to a higher level.

On the first two half-days, good preparation is the focal point. We will answer questions like: Who is expected to be present? What is the environment? Both mine and the audiences? (Being online presents different challenges!) What is the occasion and how does that affect our content?
We tackle the question-and-answer session in the workshop as this is the opportunity to have a direct exchange. Our peers in the audience are curious about the presenter’s research. And the audience has a responsibility to make sure that everyone’s research is sound.
Besides one short talk prepared in the course, each participant will give a presentation about their current research. They will prepare in the week between the half days and the full day. Those presentations will be five to seven minutes long.
