Summer School for Early Career Researchers

The Art of Scientific Communication & Storytelling

We are pleased to invite early-career researchers of the SPP2177 to this year’s Summer School at the Caritashaus in Freiburg from 23rd–26th July 2025.

Participants of the SPP Summer School 2024

In today’s complex scientific landscape, the ability to communicate your research clearly and engagingly is crucial. For that reason, we have commissioned the makers of the Science Slam to introduce you to the art of communication on stage, to help you transform your scientific communication skills and to master the art of compelling scientific storytelling. The skills you will be taught are not geared towards presenting your science only in the form of a science slam, but will help you to communicate your projects clearly and attractively on stage in everyday scientific talks and presentations.
