Presentation

The workshop “How to improve your scientific presentations” is organised by the Dr. Antoni Esteve Foundation. 

Designed with a blend of theory and practice, this new course not only covers basic skills in public speaking but also looks at shaping your message, structuring your content and polishing your delivery in order to have a greater impact on your audience. Defining a message, having a central objective, establishing a narrative, imposing a structure and attractive design of slides are some of the keys to capturing and holding public attention.

With a combination of plenary sessions and workshops with small groups, the course starts next November 20, 2023 and will take place during six days (November 20, 22, 23, 27 and 29, and December 4, 2023). 
 

Dates and Time: November 20, 22, 23, 27 and 29, 2023 & December 4 2023, from 16:00 to 18:45 CET (all sessions)

Place: Online

Audience: Early-stage PhD researchers
