How company presentations can be made relevant
Advice on how to engage with your audience and achieve your communication goals Source: © skynesher/Getty Images Addressing your audience’s needs increases the impact of your presentation In the article ‘Why company presentations are irrelevant’, I explored why many company presentations don’t strike a chord with their audiences. I noted that such presentations are often self-centred, overly driven by marketing and rules, and delivered by professionals whose primary role lies elsewhere.

Why company presentations are irrelevant
But with more consideration for their audience, they don’t have to be Source: © Camelia Dobrin/Ikon Images Jeff flips open his laptop and looks around the room filled with PhD students and postdocs visiting his company. ‘Thanks for your interest. Before our discussion round and the site tour, I’d like to show you some slides about who we are.’ The group appears interested, but throughout the presentation, their eyes are getting tired. It’s a recurring motif.
Opinie: Ondoordringbaar veenmoeras is goed voor defensie én klimaat
Dit is een ingezonden opiniestuk. Het standpunt in dit artikel is niet per definitie ook het standpunt van Trouw. Wat hield Rusland in 2022 tegen om Kyiv in te nemen? Oekraïne, al sinds 2014 onder Russische druk, was voorbereid. Geavanceerde wapensystemen speelden een cruciale rol, maar een onverwachte bondgenoot bleek net zo belangrijk: de natte, ondoordringbare veengebieden ten noorden van Kyiv. Tanks rijden slecht in modder.
Making science communication persuasive and engaging
Be understandable and relevant – and realistic Source: © Harry Haysom/Ikon Images Several years ago, I was sitting in the office of the Dean of Studies with some fellow undergrad students. We had complained about the loveless way some professors handled their teaching duties. The situation got so bad that most students turned to teaching themselves, with as few as two out of 80 students attending some lectures and seminars.
Can Sustainable Credentials Support Your Career?
The job market is constantly demanding new skills. Sustainability is a major societal issue, but does it have an impact on the desired skill profile of candidates? And how can candidates demonstrate such competencies, especially if their own research has little direct relevance for sustainability? 1 Companies Obliged to Report Sustainability Impact On the 1st of January 2024, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) came into effect in the European Union.
Scientists should speak up and share their views
When I moved from Germany to the Netherlands two years ago, one small detail about my new home country struck me as weird: peat-free potting soil was nearly absent. Frankly, this topic has never been a big part of my life, but ever since a friend told me years ago ‘do not buy peat, it´s awful for the environment’, I’ve followed the instruction. Still, after arriving in my new home country, my curiosity was triggered when I could not find a bag of peat-free soil anywhere.
Security versus employability
Neil Carragher was in his mid-40s when he changed from working as principal scientist at AstraZeneca to a temporary contract as a group leader at the University of Edinburgh, UK. At the time, he had a secure, well-paid position with a lot of responsibility and, at such a high level, quite some autonomy in making decisions. Sounds perfect, so why would he want to throw that away in exchange for all the uncertainty he faced when starting an academic group on a temporary contract?
Filling in industry skill gaps
There are plenty of ways to make yourself more employable before you graduate from the academic lab Source: © Gillian Blease/Ikon Images ‘Wow, you resigned from your job without having the next one lined up?’, I almost whisper into the telephone. I am speaking with Clara, a biomedical scientist with a PhD and two years’ work experience in industry. She faced severe problems with her boss, tried and failed to resolve them and quit.

How to get research funding from industry
Government funding is increasingly hard to secure in many countries, leaving academic scientists to cut back on their research or find creative new sources of money. Meanwhile, the private sector has dramatically reduced its fundamental research activity, but remains willing to pay for academic expertise. To find out how to seize these opportunities, we spoke to researchers who have successfully incorporated private sector collaborations into their academic or non-profit research programmes.
