The seminar addresses presentation and writing in technical domains. We'll begin with elevator pitches, that is, very short summary presentations. The name comes from the possibility of meeting a VIP in front of an elevator and you have only a very limited amount of time before the VIP exists the elevator to tell her about your idea/research/undertaking/... We will then turn the oral presentation into a scientific write-up. The audience will take the role of independent reviewers commenting on motivation/technical contribution/risk/challenges/... etc.

In general, the shorter the presentation the more difficult it is and the more work you should put into it to give a good presentation. In this seminar, we will get to know the ingredients of a good presentation, how to prepare for it and how to perform well in front of an audience (e.g., VIP in an elevator).

The goal of this course is twofold. The first one is to enable participants to give short presentations that summarise core ideas comprehensively in an intuitive and interesting way. The second goal is to turn this idea/presentation into a scientific writeup that withstand peer review.
