Abstract


Presenting scientific results through conference presentations is considered one of the fastest ways to disseminate results and receive feed-back from peers. The presentation format is essential in engaging the public particularly for graduate students looking for prospective employers in the audience, either in the form of PhD advisors, postdoctoral mentors or industry representatives searching for young talents. In this context, preparing students for delivering professional presentations may be essential for their careers. This paper presents a survey of literature presenting courses designed to enhance these skills at graduate level.Presenting scientific results through conference presentations is considered one of the fastest ways to disseminate results and receive feed-back from peers.
