The purpose of the pitching session is to allow you to share your research and refine your presentation skills through constructive feedback.
A well-crafted pitch is crucial for any researcher. It helps you distill complex ideas into a concise and compelling narrative, making your work accessible to a broader audience. Effective communication of your research can open doors to new collaborations, funding opportunities, and career advancements. By practicing and perfecting your pitch, you enhance your ability to engage and inspire others within and beyond your field.
Each participant will have 7 minutes to present their research to a select group of fellow PhD students and a panel of senior researchers. After each pitch, there will be 5 minutes allocated for questions and feedback from the audience and the panel, focusing on the delivery of your presentation.
Preparation
For the pitching session, please prepare a pitch of no more than 7 minutes about your research that leaves a memorable and positive impression.
Your pitch should be a clear and concise statement of your research interests and experience, tailored to be shared in various professional contexts. You will present to a broad group of researchers, and they may not be familiar with your specific topic. Aim to make your content more accessible by simplifying complex concepts or ideas.
