Presentation of Research Results in the Scientific 1600-SZD-SPEC-PWB-KM
This subject focuses on effective scientific communication and presenting research results in different contexts. Participants will learn how to create scientific texts that are interesting and accessible to non-academic audiences. The class will discuss techniques for preparing press releases, building a media base, and creating effective messages. The class will also cover practical aspects of working with journalists, such as responding to their queries. Students will learn how different types of media function, and the rules that apply when dealing with journalists. A key part of the course will involve presenting research results at conferences and scientific seminars. Participants will learn to create professional presentations and grasp the principles of effective public speaking. The course emphasises the importance of clarity of message, adapting language to the audience, and building a positive image of the scientist. The classes are practical and prepare students for active participation in scientific life and the popularisation of knowledge. The course aims to develop the communication skills necessary for research and popularisation work.
