2-day on-site workshop on November 4+5, 2025 on KIT Campus South

 

As a scientist, presenting your findings is essential, whether in a group seminar, at a conference, or during your Ph.D. defense. However, effective science presentation is more than just sharing data.


The topics covered by this workshop are:

  • Planning and structure
  • Memorable start and ending
  • Speech, voice, and body language
  • Create meaningful graphics
  • Slide composition
  • Difficult situations

 

The training is a workshop, meaning that the participants apply the learned material to their presentations right there. Therefore, everybody should bring presentations (old or upcoming ones) to work with.


Speaking the same language is a great advantage for tailoring presentations effectively. Another important point: Most scientists talk about their topic with shining eyes. Often, that excitement is gone the moment they stand in front of a crowd. To tap into this enthusiasm during your talk is particularly important. For that enthusiasm to reappear, you need to feel safe with what you are doing in your presentation.
