Presentation guidelines#

Session format#

Each seminar session will feature 3-4 teams of Impact Scholars.

Every team will deliver a 10-minute talk followed by a moderated Q&A.

The last 30 minutes of each session will be dedicated to networking between the scholars and scientists. For Climatematch Academy, this includes representatives from our collaborating organizations, CMIP and LEAP. For Neuromatch Academy, the collaborating organizations will be announced soon.

The presentation part of each session will be open to the public and recorded. Recordings will be made available on the Climatematch Academy Youtube channel, the Neuromatch Academy Youtube channel, and their program website soon after the events.

Specific presentation requirements#

  • Talks should be 10 minutes long and accompanied by slides (check out “Ten simple rules for effective presentation slides”)

  • Groups should mention the data they used in their projects and include a slide about their experience working with the data (what did you find helpful? what did you struggle with?)

  • Climatematch groups using CMIP data should add the CMIP logo to their presentations (you can get a high resolution logo here)

  • All team members and the mentor should be acknowledged by name in the presentation slide deck. We additionally encourage the groups to include a team photo on the first or the last slide provided that everyone feels comfortable with it.

We leave it up to the scholars to allocate the speaking responsibilities among themselves. While everyone who wishes to present part of the talk should be given a chance to do so, it is allowed for one scholar to speak on behalf of the team.

Registering for the seminars#

Information on seminar registration will be shared at a later stage.
