Kursbeschreibung

Presenting Science - comprehensive, competent and convincing

Beschreibung:
Many factors have an influence on the success of any scientific presentation. Besides excellent scientific work and knowledge of the field, other important factors are:

confident and authentic appearance

clear structure and convincing argumentation

more diversified style and dramaturgy

motivation and activation of the audience

adequate time management

adequate use of media and comprehensive figure design

intentional use of voice, body language and requisites
Therefore, the workshop will include the following topics:

preparation and planning of scientific presentations

analysis of aims What do I want to achieve?

analysis of audience To whom will I talk?

attractive presentations methods and media

Do's Dont`s when using PowerPoint

dealing with nervousness

appearance and presence

breathing and voice, rhetoric exercises

self vs. external perception

winning over the audience

comprehensive design of figures and graphs

goofs, mishaps and disasters How to deal with?

questions of the audience How to handle them competently?
The workshop will include many practical phases in order to apply the theory presented. As we would like to work on concrete topics, each participant is kindly asked to bring with them a presentation (e.g. power point) of her/his scientific project. It is also possible to bring any other presentation (e.g. posters), if they are in English. We will be exercising short presentations on this basis in the workshop, and will connect them with a video-feedback and a reflection on the structure, media design, etc. of each presentation.
