Content:
Giving convincing talks – whether in the lab meeting or on an international conference – is an essential part of academic careers. In addition to the professional presentation of the contents your personal appearance is crucial for an authentic and successful presentation. How do I deal with stress situations? How do I react to unforeseen situations? Am I able to create a positive atmosphere for me and my audience? This hands-on seminar will address those and related topics and help participants to use their strengths for professional presentations.
