Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

All research students are encouraged to attend international conferences and to present the results of their thesis work at international conferences. It is also important to inform colleagues at the department of your research. Thus both to ensure a high quality of your presentation and to inform colleagues at the department that this course has been developed. Your presentation at an international conference may be in the form of an oral presentation or a poster.

The content of the course is described in detail in the course PM. It entails preparation of your presentaion, either oral presenation or poster, and testing this on a group of peers prior to attending the conference. It includes a short summary of the conference and your learning outcomes at a department meeting.

Intended learning outcomes

The aim of the course is:

  • To learn the importance of presenting own research at international conferences. Hopefully will experience how conferences can aid in increasing their network of research colleagues in their specific field.
  • Experience learning what other researchers are actively working on, the cutting edge research in their field.
  • Learn how the own research fits into the larger picture of research in the field in general and how own research can compliment other research that is actively being done in the field.
