Are you preparing to present your research or projects to colleagues, supervisors, or at international conferences? Do you feel nervous about public speaking, or do you simply want to improve your presentation skills? Would you like to learn how to engage your audience effectively while making a lasting impact?
This 3-hour workshop combines theoretical insights with practical exercises, focusing on three key pillars: content, visuals, and delivery. You will explore the principles of effective visual design, enhance your audience interaction skills, and learn how to overcome stage fright. The instructor will also focus on the precise use of English, providing a databank of useful language chunks to help you deliver presentations with confidence.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have mastered the fundamentals of slide and poster design and be equipped to develop and deliver high-quality scientific, academic, and professional presentations in English
