Presenting Science
Science in the spotlight – effective, accessible and understandable.
What to expect from the course
Whether it’s a lecture series, public dialogue or Science Slam – researchers always have to communicate their topics clearly and effectively. This course teaches participants how to structure a presentation professionally, tailor the content to suit the target audience and present it in a visually engaging way, whether using PowerPoint or other forms of presentation. In addition to content design methods, the focus is also on personal appearance. Through practical training, participants learn how to present themselves confidently and communicate their topics in a convincing and clear manner.

Presenting Science: available formats
Our workshops and courses are available in various formats, tailored to individual learning needs. Whether face-to-face, virtual or as a digital self-study course – each format specifically promotes the development of skills in science communication.
In-person Workshop
Direct exchange and practical application: our face-to-face workshops offer a focused learning environment with a real break away from the daily work routine. The focus here is on direct exchange with trainers and the group. Interactive exercises and practical methods make the content tangible and firmly anchored. The intensive learning experience leaves a lasting impression. Our workshops take place either at your institution or in the NaWik course room.
Online workshop
Location-independent learning in the virtual course room: our online training courses bring participants together online at fixed training times. The units – two or three half days – can be easily integrated into everyday working life. Each training session is accompanied live by two trainers and takes place in small groups to enable intensive exchange and individual feedback.
