    Presentation format

    Presentations normally take the form of a lecture with questions after the presentation. This is flexible, and we are open to a variety of formats (e.g. lecture, interview format, workshop, etc). Or you may consider facilitating a session.

    The sessions are held on Zoom and you are welcome to share your screen for PowerPoint slides or other visuals.

    Duration

    The presentation is typically approximately 30 to 50 minutes, with 20 to 30 minutes for questions and discussion afterwards. The full session is usually 90 minutes, but can be 60 minutes if you prefer.

    Conditions for participation

    You do not need to be a member of the association, and there is no cost for participation. However, there is also no payment available since our association is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers, and we do not charge fees for attendance or presentation.

    Presentations cannot be used to promote a product, service, business, organisation, or individual. Our webinar series aims to share ideas, results, or research related to social capital so that the whole community may benefit.

    Are you a PhD or Masters Student?

    Giving a short presentation to the group can be great practice for confirmation, thesis defence, or rehearsal for conference presentations. It can really help to formulate your ideas, get feedback on your research, and discuss your project.

    Disseminate your work and get input from an international community of practice

    Whatever the nature of your work on social capital, a webinar is a great way to spread the word about your work to an international audience. You may also receive valuable feedback in the form of questions and comments from the audience.

    Presentations can be helpful at various stages of your research program

    In the early stages it can be helpful to get feedback from the group to help formulate your research, and later in your research to make sense of the data and practice presenting your final results.
