The aim of the 4Cs science communication competition is to provide postgraduate students from all disciplines across the College with the chance to develop their presentation and communication skills. The event has been designed to ensure that all those entering are supported and are given the opportunity to develop in their endeavour to effectively explain their research in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. The competition allows for Creativity, Content, Clarity and Charisma (the 4 ‘C’s), in communicating science and research. Judges will look for and mark on these qualities.
The competition is open to ALL postgraduate students from across the College.
Each presenter will have three minutes to deliver their presentation to the audience and a panel of expert judges. Creativity is encouraged and the presenters can visualise their concepts in a variety of ways, using props, poems, songs or PowerPoint slides. After each presentation, the judges will have two minutes to ask questions and make comments.
Prizes for the competition are as follows,
- 1st Prize – £400
- 2nd Prize – £250
- 3rd Prize – £150
- People’s Choice Award – £250
