EQUATOR Lightning Workshop: Perfecting your elevator pitch

Workshop

You know your research is interesting and important. But how do you explain it quickly and get others interested and enthusiastic rather than confused and bored? This workshop will teach you how to identify and communicate the key features of your research in a range of situations where time is short and the person you’re talking to is not an expert - whether it’s Bill Gates in a lift, or your great aunt at a family party.

Have a research project in mind and we’ll help you develop a perfect elevator pitch to bring it to life.

Presenter

The first EQUATOR workshop for 2018 will be led by Dr Jen de Beyer. Jen is CSM’s science writing, dissemination, and publication specialist. She’s here to help your research reach its full potential through clear, complete writing and communication skills that help you reach your target audience. She develops resources on how to write fantastic health research articles and teaches science writing skills through the UK EQUATOR Centre. 

Audience

This workshop is open to University of Oxford staff and students. Booking is required. Please email Caroline Struthers (caroline.struthers@csm.ac.uk) if you would like to attend this session.
