Description
Academic posters are an integral part of scientific conferences to present current research results. To attract and invite the scientific community to discuss and debate, scientific posters must be clear, powerful and coherent. This applies in two respects, both in terms of the creation and online presentation of posters.
In this two-day, interactive online seminar Birgit Lukowski (Communication designer, lecturer and trainer, DESIGN STUDIO SUEDSTERN, Berlin) covers both topics. The online seminar is aimed at doctoral students, scientific staff and postdocs of Natural Sciences who want to improve their skills in creating effective academic posters and presenting them in a powerful and convincing manner. The event is held in English. Part 1 of the online seminar focuses in concept and design of effective academic posters. Part 2 covers effective poster online presentations
In order to profit the most from this two-part seminar, participants are required to bring the content material of a poster or a draft poster to the seminar, as Part 1 provides the input enabling you to design or redesign it and Part 2 provides the platform to present your scientific poster online.
