BCN PhD Retreat

 

All PhD students will be invited to the retreat. Students who are in the second and fourth years of their project are invited to give a 10-minute presentation on their project, followed by a 10-minute discussion. Everyone is expected to be actively involved in the discussions following the presentations. Several senior staff members will be present to join in the discussions. Two senior staff members will provide feedback to the speakers.

 

After this course you should have improved your abilities to:

   - make a distinction between what to keep and what to leave out

   - organize a presentation in such a way that it is easy to follow

   - create presentations that will hold your audience’s attention

   - explain your research to fellow PhD students and senior scientists, both inside and outside your field

   - answer questions about your research in a clear and concise way

   - ask questions about other researchers’ presentations.
