CCBIO is pleased to invite you to a two‑day seminar on scientific writing and research communication 19–20 May 2026. The seminar is open to everyone, free of charge, but requires registration.
The course provides practical tools to improve structure, clarity, and communication in scientific writing. It is highly recommended for students at all levels, PhD candidates, postdocs, and researchers. Senior staff are also very welcome. National and Nordic participants may also attend.
You will learn how to:
- organize ideas, results, and key messages in a scientific paper
- improve titles and abstracts
- present a clear problem statement
- use punctuation, grammar, and numbering correctly
- write an informative and convincing cover letter
- The course will also address what good research communication looks like today – even in an era with increasing use of AI tools.
