Mastering Academic Presentations and Networking: Practical Workshop

Attendance: in person

This two-part training programme focuses on improving the clarity, structure, and delivery of conference papers, workshop contributions, and academic talks. Participants will also learn how to master the “pitch talk” format—brief, engaging presentations that effectively communicate their research to diverse audiences.

The programme combines an introductory lecture with an intensive, interactive workshop. In the second session, participants will actively work on their own presentations and self-introductions, receive structured feedback, and refine their performance in a supportive environment. Emphasis is placed on practical application, peer learning, and individualised guidance.

This workshop offers a valuable opportunity to refine your presentation skills, communicate your research more effectively in English, and prepare for active participation in international conferences and academic events.

Programme:

• May 21 (9:00–14:00) – Intro Lecture: Breaking into Academic Discourse, Contrastive Rhetorics (introductory session)
• May 29 (9:00–14:00) – Mastering Academic Presentations and Networking: Practical Workshop (in person, practice-based session)

Format: Two-part training (theory + practice)
Capacity: 10–14 participants

The workshop will be held in English (recommended level is B1+ and above).

Participation in both parts of the workshop is required.

Due to limited capacity, early registration is recommended.

The course is primarily intended for junior researchers at the Institute of Philosophy; however, due to available capacity, we are opening the training to all.
