Aim and content This is a generic course. This means that the course is reserved for PhD students at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at the Graduate School, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. After the enrolment deadline, available seats will be allocated to the waiting list. The course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries. All other participants must pay the course fee. The Cardiovascular WinterSchool 2022 is organized in collaboration with Danish Cardiovascular Academy (DCAcademy). Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. 1st year PhD students: 1)Apply correct scientific writing to their research papers and thesis 2)Critically review abstracts and poster presentations 3)Reflect on oral presentations 2. 2nd year PhD students: 1)Apply poster presentation skills to their poster presentations 2)Present and discuss a scientific poster 3)Reflect on oral presentations 3. 3rd year PhD students: 1)Apply communication and presentation skills to oral presentations 2) Present and discuss their research project orally Content Day 1: consists of workshops of different skills relevant to the different stages of the PhD studies 1st year PhD students will attend the course on ‘writing skills in academia’ Writing is an integral part of academia, and includes specific genres such as the abstract, manuscript or the thesis. This workshop contents are: • How to get started • Structure your writing • Abstract style • English grammar • Legible scientific English Teacher: Nicolai Paulsen, language consultant 2nd year students will attend the course on ‘Posters: can they deliver the goods? Yes!’ Get ideas and tips about what to present, how to portray it, and how to present it orally. You will be introduced to the point of poster presentations and what you hope to achieve by presenting your poster. You will also be able to determin your key message and what information you need to support it and, importantly, what information you don’t need. You will also explore what makes a poster effective or ineffective, culminating in ideas and tips on how to make an eye-catching poster with lasting impact. Working in groups, there will then be time for you to discuss your ideas and draft a hard-copy poster (no computers, just paper and pens—you’ll love it). Next comes the oral presentation. This will be based on prompts and a template structure, which you can elaborate according to your talk time. We’ll consider intonation—how to use your voice effectively along with a few imputs on body language. We’ll end the day with trial presentations of your draft posters. And just a reminder, if you already have a poster, please bring a colour print (as large as possible) and be prepared to review it. If you don’t have a poster, that’s fine: the idea of the Workshop is to give you inspiration to do something new. Teacher: Carol Bang-Christensen, English teacher 3rd year students will attend the course on ‘Communication & presentation in the academic context: How to be confident and persuasive’ Whether small talk or academic subject presentation – the ability to present oneself adequately and to communicate one’s concerns effectively is a deciding factor of career-related success in academia. With a few fundamental strategies for communication and presentation techniques, it is possible to illustrate complex data in a relevant manner, to convince others, to win supporters and thus reach the respectively set goals. In this workshop the participants engage with their personal communication strategies. Through exercises and role-playing they familiarize themselves with established presentation techniques and train their communicative competencies. The workshop contents are: • Communication basics: Good communication presumes set goals • Presentation basics: Preparation is key • Go public – go scientific! The context makes the difference • Everything under control? Dealing with difficult situations • Role-play: Presentation situations in practice • Minima rhetorica: Tips & tricks on the art of oratory • Communication & presentation: My next steps Teacher: Melanie Lynn Conrad, Golin Wissenschaftsmanagement, Berlin Day 2: contains plenary lectures and presentations from the PhD students in the graduate program in cardiovascular research. 1st year PhD students will be responsible for evaluating the poster presentations, 2nd year PhD students will present their research projects on posters and 3rd year PhD students present their projects orally.
