Scientific posters: How to present your research in a clear and comprehensible way

This interactive workshop has two main parts.

1. The participants will receive information on how to clearly explain the core of your research (story / pitch) and will apply it on their own research.
2. The principles of the design of a scientific poster will be highlighted and applied to the academic context in which the participants will find themselves.

We will focus on the different types of research (methodologies) and how you can visually present quantitative and qualitative, human/behavioral science research.

During the workshop, concrete examples of posters will be analysed and you will get a lot of tips & tricks.
