General information
Akvatisk videnskab og levende ressourcer - formidling af forskning
The course consists of two annual events: a 2-days seminar in August with students presenting their PhD research (talks and posters), and a 2-days workshop in January offering formalised training in presentation skills. Scientific seminars focus on presenting and debating scientific work using ‘appreciative inquiry’ and ‘constructive feedback’ from an audience including fellow students and supervisors. The focus is on enhancing both performance and scientific insights. The seminars include both oral presentations and poster sessions.
The program of the January workshops changes on a bi-annual schedule. Alternating workshops address oral presentation and scientific writing. The oral workshops focus on presentation of scientific results and means to enhance personal performance, while the written workshops focus on publication of research in scientific journals, popular science and interacting with the press. The workshops use theory, practise and application, and typically include invited speakers and consultants. As part of the course, students will be tasked to organise one seminar / workshop as part of a planning group. Tasks include announcing a call, registration and logistics, planning of a scientific program, hosting and reporting the event. A group report on the organisation and contents of the scientific seminar/workshop is requested.
More information about guest PhD students that want to follow a course at DTU, is available here.
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
- Present their oral and written work for a diverse audience (press, public and science fora)
- Organise and conduct scientific seminars and workshop
- Overview and relate their work to different disciplines within aquatic science and technology
- Apply an appreciative approach to inquiry and constructive feedback in the debate of scientific issues
- Use the advantages of an established network; e.g., to develop co-operation with fellow Ph.D students / scientists
To enhance students skills in communicating their research results effectively to the scientific community and the public through oral and written communication. The course also involves organisation of scientific seminars / workshops, networking and other communication issues important for a research career. The course is open to students from all areas of aquatic science, irrespective of university and research field. Sustainable use and management of aquatic resources require a combination of knowledge from a multitude of scientific disciplines. As such the course promotes interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and opportunities for networking across discipline boundaries.
