The course focuses on developing students’ soft skills, particularly in presenting their own research results, interpreting outputs from scientific work, and conducting literature reviews. At the same time, it introduces students to the specifics of communication in academic and professional settings, especially within the context of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
The course combines theoretical lectures delivered by experts from both academia and industry with practical exercises focused on rhetoric, the creation of various types of scientific communication (such as articles, abstracts, posters, and graphical abstracts), and the effective use of modern communication channels, including social media. A key outcome of the course is the preparation and delivery of a scientific presentation and the creation of a scientific poster.
The course supports students in preparing for the Student Scientific Conference (SVK), writing their final theses, and presenting at professional forums. Students receive individual feedback on their outputs and also participate in peer evaluations, fostering self-reflection and critical thinking.

Lectures are conducted with active student participation through discussions, complemented by case studies and practical demonstrations of communication strategies from both academic and industrial contexts. The course is delivered using interactive frontal teaching methods, including tools such as polls, online quizzes, and simulation activities. Emphasis is placed on active student engagement through group work, peer learning, and individual presentations. Throughout the semester, students take part in rhetorical exercises, work on individual projects (poster, presentation), and receive ongoing formative feedback.
The course also incorporates tandem or team teaching involving professionals from practice, particularly from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It includes the use of AI tools for scientific writing and text analysis. Last update: Kaminský Jakub (14.04.2026)

1. Submission of a structured CV and a motivation letter. 2. Delivery of a short presentation on a selected (popular science or professional) topic. 3. Preparation and delivery of a short scientific talk (8–10 minutes) on a specialized topic. 4. Creation and presentation of a scientific poster related to the student’s field of study.
Students will be assessed based on content quality, clarity of communication, presentation skills, and responsiveness to feedback. Active participation in peer evaluation of other students’ presentations is also part of the final assessment. Last update: Kaminský Jakub (14.04.2026)
