Add to calendar

To close the year, we’re bringing together alumni from the Poster & Pitching and Public Speaking & Storytelling training days for a dedicated mini conference: an informal, afterwork event designed to help you put your skills into practice.

This is your opportunity to:

  • Present a poster, pitch, or presentation
  • Get feedback (and a prize) from a jury
  • See how fellow VIB researchers are applying communication in their work
  • Reconnect with the community and continue learning together

Expect a dynamic 3–4 hour program, including short presentations, networking moments, and a guest speaker.

Whether you’d like to present or simply join the audience, you are very welcome.
The event is free and exclusively open to alumni of these training sessions.
