Welcome to the Indico page of the first ORIGINS PhD Workshop 2024!
We are pleased to offer you two workshops explicitly tailored to early-career researchers. They will take place from October 23rd to October 25th, presumably at the ORIGINS cluster in Garching.
The first workshop will be a two-day training on October 23rd and 24th with the topic:
Master Academic Presentations: Strorytelling, Slide-Writing and Live-Performance
Effective communication is paramount in the world of research. Your ability to convey complex ideas concisely and engagingly influences your impact as a researcher. This workshop is designed to equip you with the skills to create compelling presentations that captivate your audience and enhance your research dissemination.
Discover why you need both solid research and a good story to convince your audience. Delve into the art of slide-writing: from action titles, through layout, to details. Practice the basics of a good presentation delivery. In particular, we will cover:
- The research behind effective communication and storytelling,
- Why knowing your audience is the first step to a successful presentation,
- Finding the story in your data,
- Ingredients for a compelling story from fiction writing,
- How to balance your speaking time, story and number of slides,
- The sure-fire method for crafting effective slides,
- Rehearsing and delivery tips from the world of theater.
Participants get to refine their own presentation through applied exercises and instructor feedback. You will leave with a solid storyline, a rough slide deck, and the tools to polish your presentation and delivery on your own later. Join us to transform your presentations from confusing or boring to enlightening and unforgettable.
The workshop will be held by Dr. Emma Geoffray, a trainer and coach who has herself completed a doctorate in theoretical particle physics (www.growintoyourphd.com).
The number of participants is restricted to 20, so please register to the workshop by August 30th.
