Presentation Techniques

Effective communication skills are essential for a scientist’s career. Whether at a conference, during a job interview, a seminar, or simply explaining to non- experts what you do – the opportunities to present your research topics to different audiences are manifold. The scientific talk, like the original research paper, is part of the scientific communication process.
During this course, participants will practice and improve their presentation skills, receive feedback on their performance and be equipped with techniques to give concise and convincing scientific talks.

This post was originally published in Swedish at the Vetenskap & Allmänhet website. “VA is an independent Swedish non-profit membership organization that works to promote dialogue and openness between researchers and the public.” This English version was originally published by Olle Bergman on LInkedIn.
