Innovative Research Week (INNOVERSE) 2024: Sharpening Communication Skills Through Fascinating Seminar and Workshop.
CIKARANG, May 3rd, 2024 - On Friday, May 3rd, 2024, Commission I (Researcher) of the President University Student Council (PUSC) successfully held its annual event called INNOVERSE (Innovative Research Week) at the Fablab President University Convention Center (PUCC). INNOVERSE is a seminar and workshop that provides a platform for sharing knowledge and information with participants. The event enabled participants to gain new insights and a deeper understanding of specific topics. President University and High school students from SMAN 2, SMAN 3 North Cikarang, Santo Leo, Annur, and Al-Ichwan participated in this event.
This year, INNOVERSE introduces a new concept by hosting a seminar and workshop themed "Enhancing The Impact of Research Through Effective Communication." In this workshop, participants can apply the knowledge provided by the speaker directly.
Aqila Sheila Zhafira, a Communication Science Study Program alumnae from President University and an Education & Career Content Creator, has been invited to speak at this event. The event commenced with a presentation by Aqila on effective public speaking tips and tricks for smooth communication in front of the audience.
Afterward, a workshop was held to put the participants' knowledge into practice. The participants were divided into eight groups for the workshop session. Each group consisted of seven people from different schools and had a different study case to discuss. They discussed together to find solutions, identify problems, and develop relevant strategies. This discussion allows participants to apply the knowledge and skills they have gained from the presentation.
After the discussion session, each group was allowed to present the outcomes of their discussions in front of the audience. This presentation offered a chance to share findings and thoughts from each group. Subsequently, the speaker selected the top 3 groups as winners based on predetermined criteria. The participants not only gained new insights through presentations but also had the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in real case studies. The discussions and presentations by the groups also facilitated the discussion of ideas and fostered learning among the participants.
Then, the event continued with an exuberant award ceremony to honor the winners. In this presentation, Group 8 was the first winner, Group 5 was the second winner, and Group 3 was the third winner. Representatives of the different schools shared their impressions and messages at the end of the event. They expressed their gratitude to the committee of Innoverse 2024 for successfully executing the event and providing valuable insights into the field of communication. They also appreciated the competent and inspiring speaker who already shared her knowledge and experiences.
Angellina Nesya Tanly, the Project Manager of INNOVERSE 2024, expressed her hopes that all the attendees could truly experience the benefits of this event. She also emphasized the desire for the event to provide a broader understanding of communication. "Hopefully, all the participants who have attended can fully reap the benefits of this event," she said. She also concluded by expressing her appreciation to all the participants, speakers, media partners, and the committee who contributed to the success of INNOVERSE 2024.
INNOVERSE 2024 gave participants more than just the chance to attend some great seminars. It also allowed them to put their new knowledge into practice. Participants had the opportunity to directly train and refine their communication skills through interactive activities such as discussions. By providing a workshop, INNOVERSE 2024 not only fostered camaraderie among participants but also strengthened their commitment to improving their communication skills in their daily lives. As a result, INNOVERSE 2024 successfully delivered a valuable and immersive experience that ultimately enhanced the communication skills of its participants.
