The aim of the course is to prepare doctoral students and teaching staff at LTH for situations requiring communication of research.

The course includes components such as techniques of scientific presentation skills and feedback, voice and speech, poster presentations, research communication using social media, and the writing of popular science.

• Be able to analyse how the delivery and structure of scientific presentations may be perceived and be able to plan and carry out scientific presentations on the basis of this knowledge.

• be able to take advantage of their voices and individual body language in the planning and delivery of scientific presentations
• be able to write a popular science article which relates the research subject to wider society and has the potential to create interest in a broad audience
• be able to design and evaluate a scientific poster on the basis of its graphic and scientific message, and from the point of view of the intended function of the poster
• be able to develop and use audiovisual aids to enhance the message of scientific presentations and be aware of the limitations of such aids.

The course is practice oriented. Internet sources are used instead of course literature.

The course corresponds to 3 weeks of full-time work of which 1 week is part of the qualifying programme in teaching and learning in higher education at LTH. The course corresponds to 5 credits in third-cycle studies (with Pass and Fail as available grades), if this is in line with the individual study plan. Prizes for best popular science essay and best poster presentation are awarded by a jury at the end of the course. The course is identical to and given together with GB_S12.
