Pitch je onderzoek
What is the use of wonderful research results if nobody understands them?
How do you inspire others, find collaboration partners or create support when it is difficult to explain what you do?
You learn how to summarize your research in such a way, that the audience doesn't just understand what you are saying - but also wants to know more. Discover how you get your knowledge across, what makes a good build-up and how you make sure you are getting the right questions afterwards.
In this training you will learn about the different aspects that are needed to create a good pitch:
- Goal and target audience: Make your knowledge relevant for your specific audience
- Structure: Make a logical structure with a clear focus and main message
- Get them intersted: Get attention and make sure your story sticks
For who?
The workshop is tailored to the level of the participants. From fundamental skills for young researchers to a specific masterclass for seniors and professors.
Duration
We will decide the duration together. Depending on the goal, we can provide variations ranging from 45 minutes to 2 days.
- The short version is useful as for example part of a conference program.
- Half a day (4 hours) is useful to learn how to make a good pitch.
- 2 full days is useful for researchers who want to go home with a presentation about their research. They will work on their presentation during the training, practice it and will receive feedback. We will also focus on slide use, stage presence and audience interaction.
