Career Workshop: Visual Communication for Researchers
24 Jun 2024, 09:30 – 24 Jun 2024, 17:00
Vienna
Visual language can be a valuable tool to communicate your research findings effectively.
It can help you break down complex concepts into much more easily understandable information, capture your audience’s attention, and aid them in retaining information for longer periods of time. In this highly interactive workshop, we will explore the manifold applications for visual language in a researcher’s everyday life. Through a blend of theoretical input and practical exercises, we will investigate good practices for
- the creation of slides for conferences and seminars
- writing and drawing on flipcharts and whiteboards
- illustrating your own research in publications and funding applications
- using visual language for outreach and communication to the general public
You will also get the opportunity to work on your own visualizations and get feedback from fellow
participants.
