Presentation, poster, and speaking skills training for researchers
Great research deserves to be understood, especially by the people best placed to build on it.
We help scientists and researchers share their work clearly and confidently with peers, reviewers and specialists in adjacent fields.
Who it’s for
Master’s students, PhD candidates and researchers at every career stage, preparing for conferences, seminars, defences, interdisciplinary meetings and project reviews.
What participants learn
Skill development and application depend on the focus of the training, and can include some or all of the following:
- Structuring a talk around a clear message, not a chronology of methods
- Adapting depth and detail for specialists and for experts from neighbouring fields

- Delivering flash talks and short presentations with presence
- Handling questions with confidence

Since we started working with Suzanne and SciComm Success a few years ago, we’ve offered training on topics like presentation skills, poster design, storytelling, and most recently, elevator pitches. Aside from recruitment and initial communication, Suzanne takes all the work off our hands. We have fully-booked courses, good attendance, and excellent feedback every year. I recommend them to anyone looking for a flexible training provider for students and early career researchers.
