About the Webinar

Your research is only as strong as your ability to share it. Clear scientific communication helps you connect with the research community, and it can lead to postgraduate study, career opportunities and collaborations.

This webinar is for IFSCC young scientists preparing to submit or present at a Congress. It offers practical guidance on writing a strong abstract and on giving a confident, polished presentation, whether oral or poster.
​​​​​​​
What will you learn:
 
- Writing a scientific abstract: how to read a call for papers, write a clear and informative title, and structure your abstract so it shows the value of your work within the word limit
- Preparing an oral presentation: how to design slides that are easy to follow, rehearse well, manage your time and handle Q&A with confidence
- Preparing a poster presentation: layout and design principles, how to build a short “poster pitch”, and how to adapt your explanation to different audiences
- Using AI tools responsibly: where AI can help with your writing, and why checking the accuracy of your content is still your job
