In this workshop we’ll quickly cover the first bases of science communication. It’s a fast paced, highly interactive session that will get you on track by generating a slogan for your research.
I really liked the Poster design workshop, it was full of useful advice along with examples and work on our own posters, with a great rhythm ! Thanks for these 3 sessions.”

Our research team enjoyed the IMPACT workshop very much! We learned how we can create more impact with our research by thinking one step further. An interactive workshop with a lot of positive energy!”

Een vorm die past bij jullie evenement
De vorm van de workshops is flexibel!
Sommige van onze workshops werken het beste wanneer ze over meerdere sessies wordt verdeeld. En misschien past het soms ook beter in jullie schema. We kunnen bijvoorbeeld een workshop van 4 uur opsplitsen in een introductiecollege, huiswerk voor de deelnemers en vervolgens een tweede sessie voor feedback en verdieping. Dit werkt ook goed voor studenten.
Meerdaagse ontwerpsessies
Onze workshops over design zijn erg geschikt om in meerdere dagen te geven. Dan hebben de deelnemers meer tijd om zelf aan de slag te gaan:
- Begin met Crash Course Design voor de theorie, best practices en tools.
- Vervolgsessie(s) om aan je poster, presentatie en/of visual abstract te werken met begeleiding en persoonlijke feedback van de workshopleider.
Combineer workshops
Als je een hele dag de tijd hebt, is het ook mogelijk om workshops te combineren tot een dagvullende workshop. Vooral onze Basics & Media combinatie (2 x 3 uur) is populair.
Liesbeth en Stephan inspireerden me om beter na te denken over de communicatie van mijn onderzoek. Ik vond het vooral gaaf om te leren hoe je een boodschap zo kunt overbrengen dat je zelfs bij de meest complexe onderwerpen de aandacht weet te trekken. In de toekomst zal ik al mijn berichten in een creatievere vorm verpakken.”
David Oerlemans, student at HAS
As a former teacher, I thought I’d gotten the basics of presenting down- until Liesbeth’s workshop showed me that presenting posters is a whole new ball game. In an engaging and interactive way she managed to keep everyone’s attention (which might be the toughest part of online workshops) and gave us tools and tips on how to improve your work immensely with simple changes. I’ve now gone on to share these tips with friends and coworkers so I would definitely recommend it!

During Bessensap, an annual event where science meets press, Stephan told a fully booked room about the do’s and don’t of science presentations. With all kinds of beautiful examples, he explained how graphs, photos and other visual support can complement a story, but also can take away from it. I’m sure it has inspired many members of the audience to create their next science presentation in a clear and creative way.
Anouk Broersma, Bessensap
Liesbeth gave a great motivational ‘Impact with research!’ workshop for PhD students. She helped us dare to think bigger and gave us many tips to get started ourselves. Highly recommended!
Dorine Duijsens, PhD student (FWO-SB) at Lab of Food Technology, KULeuven
Liesbeth gave a 2-hour interactive workshop to our PhD students on how to create impact with scientific research. So much was discussed: How do you keep a poster readable? What do you put and especially NOT put on your slides during a presentation? What is the one-liner of your research? Liesbeth presented in a very spontaneous and open manner, and inspired us to get more out of science. Our participants were excited to put what we learned into practice.

I’ve never seen a more beautiful presentation than the presentation by Liesbeth. She has a talent for design, and she knows how to make beautiful, clear and powerful slides. In addition, Liesbeth is a top performer in the field of presentation. She speaks enthusiastically about her expertise.
