Course Description
The hard work that goes into doing scientific research is nearly worthless, if the results of the research are not effectively communicated to the scientific community. Despite its importance, most study programmes rarely provide a formal course on how to convert your data collected over months and years into well cited scientific papers or a highly rated thesis or a much-appreciated presentation at a scientific meeting. To fill this gap, Professor Shah developed an accredited course on Scientific Communication that he has been teaching since last 15 years at Laval University in Canada.
Course Schedule
Course Highlights
- Preparation of manuscripts describing original results, review of literature or new methods for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals

Assignments on voluntary basis by participants: (a) Prepare and submit a short scholarship application for assessment and feedback from the Professor; (b) Selected scholarship application will be peer-reviewed by groups of 4-5 participants, who will then make a team presentation of their evaluation with constructive feedback to the applicant.
