Good research deserves to be understood, remembered and shared. This spring, Taalcentrum-VU is organising a free webinar series for researchers, PhD candidates and academic staff who want to strengthen the way they write, present and communicate their research in English.
The series brings together three essential aspects of research communication: writing, presenting and storytelling. Each session offers practical ideas you can apply straight away, while also giving you a short introduction to one of our training courses. You are welcome to join one webinar, two webinars or all three.
