Presentation skill workshop 1: Short Talks & Elevator Speeches

Short Talks & Elevator Speeches

Explain Your Research Clearly and Make People Want to Hear More

In this interactive webinar, you will explore the key elements of scientific storytelling and learn how to turn your research into a short, focused, and engaging story. We will look at how to identify the most important message, present the right amount of data, and use clear and appealing slides and visuals to support your story.

You will also learn how to make your research more personal and memorable, helping you connect with your audience and create opportunities for future conversations and collaborations. These skills can be especially useful for conferences, research proposals, networking, and other situations where you need to communicate your research in a short amount of time.

The webinar will be highly interactive, so please come prepared to share a few selected ideas from your own research and try out what you learn during the session.
