Throughout the week, fellows from the MediPIET, EPIET, EUPHEM, PAE and EODY programmes presented ongoing scientific projects and received structured, in-depth feedback enhancing their readiness to showcase their work at scientific forums such as ESCAIDE 2025, taking place in Warsaw this November.
The module focused on both the content and delivery of presentations, preparing fellows for oral and poster formats. Participants refined their skills in presenting, defending and justifying their research, while gaining practical experience in scientific critique, peer-review and argumentation.
The event offered fellows a valuable platform to refine their research and strengthen cross-border collaboration through a mix of plenary lectures, hands-on workshops and small-group sessions that facilitated professional networking and peer learning, in addition to technical skills.
Highlights included:
- Lectures on effective scientific presentations, outbreak communication, and providing constructive feedback.
- Workshops on creating clear data visualisations (e.g. tables and figures) and navigating the publication process.
- Presentations on projects relating to surveillance, outbreak investigations, and operational research.
- Sessions on tailored methodologies, study design and analysis.
