This 5-day capacity-building program is designed to strengthen the communication and interpersonal skills of scientists, equipping them with tools to lead projects, disseminate findings, and represent their institutions with confidence and impact.

• Master techniques for clear and persuasive scientific presentations—whether at conferences and academic forums.

The program will also emphasize professional etiquette, cross-cultural awareness, and digital civility, enabling scientists to project a credible professional image in both national and international forums.
