Your research topic seems too difficult to communicate to lay-people? Presenting in front of an audience gives you stage-freight? Or you simply want to further your skills in how to communicate your research topic to a broader public? Then this workshop is for you! We start Day 1 by taking a look at the current science communication landscape, discuss best-practice examples, create science stories in groups of 3-4 people. Day 2 focuses on your individual research projects and lets you practice presenting skills, with the opportunity for personal feedback from the coach and your peers. This 1,5-day workshop strives to enable you to present your research topic in a variety of academic and non-academic situations. lt gives you opportunities to try out some „golden rules" for effective communication and develop your own solutions in the three exercise sessions: "Write it!" - "Tell it!" -"Pitch it!" Here, we will take a close look at how to write for webtexts, social and digital media. We will learn how to think visually and create storyboards for your research topic which you can use in scientific short presentations, such as Science Pitches. This workshop is specifically designed for PhD candidates at the end of their dissertation project and Postdocs. |
