Scientific collaborations, especially across disciplines, are at the heart of scientific progress. The foundations for establishing and thriving in such collaborations lie in clear, effective, and authentic communication, particularly through oral presentations.

Through interactive exercises and a concise, no-nonsense approach, this workshop aims to teach participants how to plan, design, create, and deliver talks that resonate — presentations that not only inform but invite others to connect and collaborate.

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW:

While science is grounded in objectivity and facts, collaborations involve a personal element and begin with finding common ground across different perspectives. Through practical exercises, you will gain insight into these dynamics. Such insights will help you to approach presentations with a clear sense of purpose, enabling you to identify and connect to the right audience, define your talk’s goals, and craft clear scientific messages.

Having identified a clear purpose and message for your presentation, we will focus on selecting the precise content that best supports your claims, structuring it in a straightforward way so your audience can follow effortlessly, and creating clear slides (if used) that convey your messages in the most effective way. 

GOAL: By the end of the workshop, you will be equipped to present your science with clarity and impact, igniting connections and collaborations that transcend disciplines.

TARGET: All ICFOnians interested in participating in this workshop may register, with preference given to Science Capsules speakers and postdoctoral researchers.
