Course description:

This workshop will guide you from your raw data to a finalised poster telling your own story. Starting with the differences between a poster, a talk, and a paper, you will learn how a poster is structured, which stories science can tell (fairy tale, criminal writing, etc.), what the pros and cons of each story type are, which story type matches your data best. And how illustrations, colours, and arrangement help you to communicate your story. Afterwards you have the opportunity to incorporate the newly learnt skills in your own poster and to discuss them on a one-on-one basis.

Participation

Places are limited. The workshop will take place in preparation for the Welcome Day on 12 April 2024. Therefore, doctoral candidates who submit a poster for this event will be given priority admission to the workshop. The remaining places at the workshop will be allocated on a fist-come-first-serve basis.
