Oral presentations are an essential part of communicating research results to your audience. They represent an important aspect of being a professional researcher. The overall aim of this training is to present strategies and techniques for giving a successful talk at a project presentation or a conference.

In particular you will learn:

1.     how to prepare and structure an oral presentation
2.     how to define presentation aims and target groups
3.     how to make yourself understood
4.     how to use presentation tools and media effectively
5.     how to prepare for and respond to questions from the audience

The training consists of theoretical inputs, exercises, best-practice examples, feedback and discussions. The focus, however, will be on practical exercises. With the help of video-training, you will get the chance to improve content, structure, speech and body-language.

After the training, you know how to give convincing presentations. You are prepared to set up and give your own presentation, be a more confident speaker, and know how to reduce stage-fright. If you have a meeting or presentation coming up, please bring your material along for use during the exercises.
