Yesterday I presented my research in the Autoferry project at Byscenen, Trondheim, in the research dissemination competition Forsker Grand Prix. The set-up is simple: Ten candidates get four minutes each to present their work to the public and a jury. Three of them are voted on to do a further four-minute presentation where the top two get to go to the national finale, this year in Stavanger.

I did not go on to the finale, but this has truly been a great experience! In addition to what I've learnt about storytelling, visualization and stage presence, I also got to know nine other PhD students working on completely different areas of research than myself. We've been working together, giving each other feedback and advice throughout the process and it was amazing to see the everybody giving it their best on stage yesterday!

The national finals in Stavanger are on Saturday 28th of September, and for those who are interested there is also a live stream. Best wishes to Ola and Daniel who are representing NTNU this year!
