Event Details

EMBO | IndiaBioscience Online Seminars

A successful scientific career requires many skills that go beyond the topics taught in a scientific curriculum. In our shared commitment to promoting life sciences, EMBO and IndiaBioscience have joined efforts to bring to the scientific community in India online seminars to update and practice soft skills, which include communication, grant writing, publishing and scientific integrity. Our trainings are tailored specifically to the needs of researchers at early career stages and aim at improving both the quality and the quantity of research output in the medium and long term. We launched this initiative in April 2020.

Workshop on Oral Communication of Science

Whether you are networking, explaining your poster or showing your PPT slides, you are constantly called upon to explain and justify your research orally. This workshop will give you strategies and tools to do so clearly and convincingly. Participants will be introduced to the foundations of effective oral and visual communication of scientific and technical information, supported by findings from neuroscience, linguistics, and marketing.

The workshop consists of two independent parts: an open component for which only registration is needed to attend + a closed component where attendance is application based.

A more detailed overview of the workshop is provided below.

  • Open Component
