Research communication (1/3): The three laws of communication
Location: TBD

Jean-luc Doumont Principiae

A large body of tips and tricks is impossible to remember, at least in a practical, usable way. Instead, this workshop offers three simple yet solid ideas that lead to more effective communication and that underpin every other guideline: easy to remember, readily applicable, and always relevant—in short, valuable for the rest of your life. As an illustration, it applies these three laws to creating effective presentation slides.

This workshop will enable you to:

• move from merely conveying information to getting a message across;
• understand the basic principles of effective communication;
• create more effective slides for your research talks.
