Organizing scientific events, Nov 30th


We are happy to announce our soft skill workshop!

Organizing scientific events – workshops, summer schools, conferences, symposia – seems like a complex and overwhelming endeavor. You need to design the structure of your event, secure funding, invite guests, promote it, proceed payments and contact participants; you need to take care of catering, flights, hotels, and dates.

It is a lot, but with a proper approach, some knowledge – and people around you – you can organize a successful event even with limited resources.

During our workshop you will learn how:

  • design your event, select its target and set goals
  • secure funding: find sponsors, write grant applications
  • promote your event on social media and mailing groups
  • how to approach graphic design
  • how to contact guests and prepare invitations
  • how to proceed funding: event fees, grants, sponsors money
  • how to ensure good atmosphere
  • what to do afterwards

And much more!

The event will take place on Thursday, Nov 30th at Nencki Institute, 11 AM – 1 PM. The cost of the workshop is PLN 50. Please find the application form here: https://forms.gle/fNVBiZLibyzLde6J7
