The perks of being a scientist

TUE

As a young scientist you will not only do research, but you will have to share the outcomes and results with the rest of the scientific world.

That’s why we have included a lecture that will introduce you to the structure of a scientific paper and how to write it. And if you’re still not sure if that’s going to be enough – be prepared to learn what it takes to publish an article in a scientific journal and help your work get the recognition it deserves.

A scientist in progress

Becoming a scientist sounds really great, but are you sure you have what it takes? We know presenting you research sounds scary, but it’s not.

And to prove you that we have prepared a workshop that will give you an idea how to write an abstract and how to turn it into an oral or poster presentation. And in the end, of course, you will be given the task to do one yourself and present it on Friday.
