Conference
Electrical Engineering and informatics

The conference on Electrical Engineering and Informatics  is a traditional professional event organized by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering UWB. The 26th edition will take place in 2025. The conference is an opportunity for Ph.D. students to share not only the results of their creative and pedagogical activities but also to establish contact with their closest colleagues who share not only close technical problems but also the corresponding concerns. The conference is thus a unique opportunity to meet students, their supervisors, and the whole academic community.

Elevator Pitch Guidelines
(for Scientific Presentations)

What is an elevator pitch?

An elevator pitch is a concise and engaging summary of your research delivered to the audience in just 3 minutes. You can use only one presentation slide (for example, a graphic abstract from your submission). It may not seem like it, but it's a much more common type of presentation than it might seem.

Key elements of a strong elevator pitch:

  1. Hook: Grab attention immediately with a thought-provoking question, an exciting fact or an unresolved problem.
  2. Problem statement: Clearly state the problem your research addresses.
  3. Solution: Briefly explain your proposed solution or approach.
  4. Impact: Highlight the potential impact of your research, whether scientific, technical, societal, or economic.
  5. Call to action: Encourage the listener to engage in further discussion.

Tips for Effective Delivery:

  • Please keep it simple: Avoid specific technical terms. Use clear and concise language.
  • Be enthusiastic: Your passion for your research will captivate your audience.
  • Time yourself: Stick to your allotted time to maximise your opportunity.
  • And practice, practice, practice: Rehearse your pitch multiple times to ensure smooth delivery.
