Content

The "Fundamentals of Science Communication" provides scientists with an introduction to science communication with the public and the media. This basic course focuses on topics such as the dimensions of science communication, the interaction between actors and target groups, and dealing with the media.

The modules build on each other. The content is varied and includes animations, videos and quizzes. In the seminar, participants will learn how to optimize their presentations for the respective target group. They will learn how to prepare and present their content in a way that their audience will understand. Under the guidance of the instructor, they will learn what an effective presentation looks like through numerous practical exercises. Individual feedback through video analysis will prepare participants for future presentations.

Duration: 8 hours

Validity: 6 months after registration

Scope: 14 modules with videos, animations and quizzes

Content

When negotiating with companies, founders often come up against experienced and skilled negotiators who know how to trick and bluff very well. As a result, the negotiation outcomes for deep-tech start-ups usually fall far short of the possible outcomes - and large sums of money are lost.

Aims and Benefits

• After the negotiation training, you will know how to achieve your goals faster and easier with three proven negotiation strategies
• You will negotiate more routinely and be better able to see through the tricks of industry partners
• Preparation checklists will help you to success in your negotiations
• You will gain a wider repertoire of negotiation strategies with completely different approaches
• Targeted agreements will make your team negotiations more professional
• You willl improve the results of sales and purchasing negotiations, and increase the profit margin of your start-up
• You will learn how to achieve balanced added value for both negotiating partners in larger projects through win-win negotiations.

Method

On the first day of negotiation training we will practice price, purchase and compromise negotiations. On the second day we will explore the very sophisticated techniques of win-win negotiations.

The negotiation training is based exclusively on interactive methods: real solutions to practical cases from the participants (no case studies or slide presentations!), role plays from practical negotiation situations with video feedback (focus), trainer information, collective preparation using checklists for real negotiations after the seminar. Depending on the needs of the participants, compromise, win-lose and/or win-win negotiations are taught and practiced.

Content

Clear and appealing visualization of data and information is an excellent way to make science accessible to a wider audience. Graphics are also an important part of scientific communication - for example, infographics for posters, illustrations in lectures, or illustrations in publications.

The Visualizing Science workshop focuses on infographics for posters. It is an introduction to the basic design principles and methods for the presentation of research results in an easier and more lively way. Interactive content will alternate with compact input, hands-on exercises, and question-and-answer sessions. Based on their own research topic, participants will develop the outline of an infographic.

The focus of the workshop is on communicating with an audience beyond your peers. Visualization of research data for scientific publication is not part of the workshop. The workshop is not a software training.

Main topics

• Characteristics and effects of good visualization
• Finding your own topic and developing visual ideas for it
• Structure and layout of an infographic
• Basics of visual design
• Roadmap from sketch to finished visualization
• Tools, tips and tricks for creating infographics
• Poster: purpose and visual language
• The nomenclature of scientific illustration styles

The basic terminology of science communication will not be covered in detail in this face-to-face training course. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you take the e-learning course on the basics of science communication.
