Try-out session
With a try-out session, the participants will have the opportunity to process our workshop tips and apply them to their own research or project.
During the session they will present their poster and receive feedback from the instructor and fellow participants. This will fully prepare them for that upcoming conference or research day.
The combination of the workshop and a try-out session generally produces the best results. We can also offer video feedback, which allows participants to process the feedback at their own pace.
In combination with our book
The book ‘Stand out with your Scientific Poster’: A practical guide that gives you answers to questions like: what to put on a poster (and mainly: what not to)? How do you come up with a title that immediately grabs people’s attention? What are the best images to use? How many words can you include on your poster? And much, much more…
Everything you need to get started step by step and quickly achieve the best result.
