Presenting technical information to an audience is one of the hardest tasks any scientist can face, and presenting effectively is not a
natural talent for most people. Indeed, many technical presentations utterly fail in their primary objective — to convey a complex idea or
argument clearly and convincingly. These classes explain — and demonstrate — the key techniques that combine to produce an effective
and enjoyable technical presentation. All participants, from master or PhD students to lab heads will benefit from the techniques presented in
these two courses.
These two classes are taught by Damian Conway, a well-known speaker and trainer, and they have received the best feedback over all courses
organized by SIB.
Requirements: There is no prerequisite for this course; the number of seats is limited, and they will be attributed on a “first come, first served”
basis.
Cost: For Swiss academic participants:
100 CHF for the first workshop,
150 CHF for the second workshop.
Other participants should contact us.
Practical organization – Location: The session runs from 9:00 to 17:00 approximately, with a lunch break (lunch is not included). The course will be held on the Dorigny campus of the University of Lausanne.
Registration is open: You can find a registration link from the pages indicated above for each of the two courses.
