Target Audience: PGRs
Researchers are frequently required to communicate their projects verbally, whether it is an oral presentation, in a meeting or an interaction at a conference. Performing well in a presentation is key to facilitating collaborations, building relationships with future employers and boosting your career.
This workshop will cover various situations that researchers are faced with regularly with regard to verbal interaction. We will cover oral presentations, short communications, how to pitch your research and how to design a talk. Participants will be introduced to various techniques that they can use and adapt to a variety of situations.
Effective verbal delivery and engagement takes practice and this workshop will introduce participants to concepts and techniques that they can use to their advantage. We take a step by step approach to presentations, building up from initial short research pitches to longer conference talks so participants can gain confidence.
By the end of the workshop participants will have:
- been introduced to a series of techniques to aid and structure their presentations;
- an understanding of how to present & engage with various audiences;
- gained confidence with regard to delivering effective presentations.
