Welcome

Let's communicate!

Communication skills are widely acknowledged as cornerstones for a successful research career, both within and beyond academia. Whether you're aiming for a research grant, your dream job or simply to impress family and friends, being able to clearly communicate what you do and why is crucial.

The  Melbourne Medical School (MMS) and Melbourne Dental School (MDS) are collaborating again to run the No Bell prize competition for graduate research students. In 2024 the competition will be open to PhD and Master's by research students in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry &  Health  Sciences.

Applicants will be provided with tailored coaching to develop and build on skills in creating engaging research pitches and communicating their research story in an engaging and compelling way for a variety of purposes.

Pitch your research to our panel and you could be in the running for some great prizes.

A  Nobel prize winner will be in the audience and will  present the  winner  with their  prize.

We can't wait to talk research with you!
