For PhD Students
May 23, 2023, at 4–6 PM
Does the science speak for itself? Maybe. But today as a a scientist, you need to promote your research. Easily, comprehensively, sometimes even in a funny way. By communicating effectively about your research, you are not only doing a great service to the general public and your peers but also your own work. We have prepared or you a practical seminar with top science communication tips to bear in mind.
We will focus on:
presentations skills on stage (scientific speech or even a competition)
typical mistakes of non-native English speakers
