Event language: English

This seminar develops vital presentation skills for confident scientific paper and poster presentations. You will learn how to clarify your intentions, explore the audience's needs and create a stringent outline. We will focus on tools for designing clear, convincing and engaging content. The course will guide you in creating dynamic narrative and, if necessary, in enhancing the clarity of your visual support. You will create a short presentation of your choice (about 5 min.). A video recording of your presentation will provide you with direct feedback about your performance.
