NIG x TRiSTAR: Practicum Course for Research Presentations

Want to hone your skills in scientific presentations? The course will help not only to improve your presentations, but also to make your draft papers and applications better!

Join NIG x TRiSTAR: Practicum Course for Research Presentations（GTP）!

The Research Administration/Management (URA) Office and TRiSTAR will hold an educational program on scientific presentations to strengthen both English and scientific thinking, based on the “Genetics Institute Method” developed at the National Institute of Genetics (NIG), and jointly developed by NIG and TRiSTAR.

This is a practicum course designed from a scientist’s point of view to communicate to an audience who are also scientists, using as material the presentation tips and commonly seen mistakes and failures noticed through oral presentation experience as a scientist. Researchers who want to make your presentations more effective at international conferences  are encouraged to attend. Any field of study is welcome, including life, science and engineering, humanities, and medicine.
