【Online】“Improving Your Oral Presentation Skills”
To graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, faculty and staff
We will share the event guide from Hokkaido University.
Please be informed that I-HoP will organize an online seminar. This transferable skills seminar is targeted for researchers (DC, PD & MC). Seminar will be conducted in English. For non-native English speakers, presentations in English may make you nervous. This seminar is to help those who would like to have more confidence for the presentation. Let's learn how to prepare and practice for it. We are planning to have 1.5h lecture and 30 minutes "Q&A" session. In addition to questions about the content of the lecture, if you have any questions or concerns about English presentations, please feel free to talk to the lecturer!
