The grant-writing and presenting weekend revolves around communicating science in a broad sense: How can we shape and explain complex research ideas to peers and form strong, multidisciplinary collaborations to improve pediatric care? And how do we effectively translate these results to patient care and those involved? That is the primary goal of this meeting - stimulating those involved in pediatrics to enhance their skills in communication, presentation and visualization. With interactive lectures and workshops, we promote a broad professional network and shape the communicative skills of those attending to form the future leaders in pediatric science.
