Description: Knowing how to design a well-structured, visually attractive poster is a must for every researcher. However, due to insufficient know-how and inexperience, you may fail to get your message across and also not present your poster optimally.
To overcome these problems, the Designing and Presenting Posters Workshop focuses on the key dos and don’ts of strong poster design using your own poster as material. In addition, you will be coached on how to effectively make your key points and convey your message as well as on how to make the best impression on interested parties. This workshop will, therefore, enable you not only to design and present a poster competently but also to represent yourself and your Institute more professionally.
The Designing and Presenting Posters Workshop is ideal for early-stage research scientists with no or little poster designing and presenting experience.

On Saturday, November 17, 2018, the Max Planck Institutes in Martinsried are arranging their next Open Day.
During guided tours through laboratories and service units as well as in lectures of the scientists, everyone interested in science can catch up on latest research activities of the institutes.
In the hands-on laboratory "MaxLab", young and old are permitted to slip into a laboratory coat and to conduct different experiments.
When the guests need a break, they can relax in our Science Cinema and watch short movies about different research projects in the Max Planck Society.

Description: Do you have data to publish, but keep putting off writing that paper because you don’t know where to begin?
How to get started and keep going as well as what goes where and in which tense will be the starting point of this workshop. We will also review key scientific sentence structures as well as strategies to keep your text concise and precise. Issues such as how to create flow and generate the correct level of emphasis will also be discussed. Together we will explore how to make scientific writing understandable and readable and begin the process of integrating these factors into your own scientific writing style. Finally, we will formulate a plan on how you can improve your scientific vocabulary and writing style for future writing tasks. The Scientific Writing Workshop is ideal for non-native English-speaking early-stage research scientists
