Seminar »Your presentation: gripping and understandable«
Recommended as preparation for the Young Researchers Symposium 2020
The seminar is cancelled due to current events. We will try to reschedule the seminar at a later date.
There are many ways in which scientists communicate their work, publications, poster or oral presentations or via individual conversations. In terms of leaving a deep impression about your work and yourself, oral presentations are a very powerful way. However, many scientists are scared of the prospect to stand in front of a large and potentially critical audience to present their work. They rush through the presentations, clinging onto overloaded slides and miss a crucial chance to show themselves in a positive light.
