Frédéric Schütz (SIB Group Leader and member of the SIB Training Group) will give two virtual courses on ‘best practices’ for giving and structuring presentations. This course aims to enhance your ability to deliver impactful and well-structured presentations.

The course is free of charge, and if your abstract has been selected for an oral presentation or a poster pitch, we strongly encourage you to attend. The course will be held on:

• Theorical part: Thursday 23 May 2024, 9:30 - 11:30
  This part will highlight best practices for giving a presentation, pitfalls you may encounter, and tell you how to engage with an on-site and virtual audience at the same time
• Practical part: Tuesday 28 May 2024, 9:30 - 11:30
  The second part will offer you the possibility to practise your presentation and receive feedback from the course organizer and participants, which will be split into small groups. Each group should plan up to two hours for the presentation-feedback round.
