     Simon Vanlangendonck, researcher KU Leuven Workshop ‘How to present online?’

  • I loved how you guided us along, step by step. At first, I had no idea how to get started on a poster, but by the end of the session I could already really envision my poster. I happily listened fully focused for the entire three hours. Well done!

     Anton Milh, researcher KU Leuven, Faculty of Theology Workshop ‘Scientific posters with impact’

  • I really liked that you called people by name/made contact/regularly asked if there were any questions. You effortlessly held my attention and I felt involved, which is something that is very rare during a digital session.
