Rationale
Effective scientific communication is essential for every researcher. This interactive workshop will help Doctoral Candidates strengthen their oral presentation and scientific writing skills, learning how to communicate complex research clearly and confidently to different audiences. Through practical exercises, participants will work on presentation structure, storytelling, body language, audience engagement, scientific writing, and handling questions. Each Doctoral Candidate will deliver a short scientific presentation during the workshop, which will be recorded for educational purposes and followed by an individual online coaching session with personalised feedback.
