Live Online Workshop 29 September 2023 (9 am – 1 pm)	Registration until 30 July 2023 Registration is closed (The course is limited to 20 participants with a waiting list)

Aim:	You will learn to visually communicate your complex research ideas and results so your messages are effortlessly understood by any specific audience (scientists or non-scientists). We will not focus on aesthetics but on how knowledge on human visual perception can help you create effective scientific images, slides, and posters. You will design a graphical abstract of your research, discuss it with peer scientists in a group exercise, and get actionable advice and feedback on your own images and slides. It is an immersive workshop, comprehensive, structured, memorable, easy to follow, useful and fun.
Content:	The training is offered as blended learning that combines a self-study module and a live online workshop. Self-study via an online platform – 12 month access Communicating with scientific vs non-scientific audiences Visual perception and what humans find intuitive Layout: simplifying comprehension through a structured layout Eye-flow: effortlessly guide the audience through the design Colors: how to amplify, not ‘fancify’ Typography for legibility, structure and aesthetics Slides that amplify messages and don't distract when presenting Posters: strategy and process for creating posters that attract and explain Homework: you submit your images and slides for feedback. Live Online Workshop – self-study module partial completion mandatory (4 h) Recap of fundamentals and Q&A: trainer facilitates an effective review of lessons learned in self-study module and answers all further questions.

Trainer:	Dr. Jernej Zupanc, Founder of Seyens Ltd. My goal is to help you effectively communicate your ideas and findings and make an impact with your research. Teaching and communication are my professional passions. I read and study eclectically and am always looking for approaches from different ﬁelds that can be easily applied by scientists. I distill the principles and practices into easy to understand and fun learning experiences. Time is our most valuable resource and I want the time spent in my training to be the best long-term investment a scientist can make. I’ve worked with over 5000 researchers from 150 excellent research institutions and hope to work with you too.
