Description of subject:
The course offers a theoretical and practical introduction to scientific communication, intended for students in the broad fields of life sciences and engineering.
Main topics include scientific articles, oral presentations, conference posters, review papers, dissertations, and grant proposals. The aim is to help students become conscious and effective scientific communicators—writers and presenters who move beyond imitation and develop a fundamental understanding of the publication process, including peer review, scientometrics, and related concepts.
