Academic Writing- 4 weeks continued

In this 4-week online workshop you will have plenty of opportunity to work on your own text, make progress with your manuscript and profit from the exchange with fellow writers and mutual text feedback. Moreover, we will address different components of the scientific writing process, i.e. efficient planning and writing strategies, techniques for adequate application of scientific style- and structure conventions, and efficient revision and feedback strategies. In addition, you will be able to reflect and improve your individual strategy to avoid writer´s block and to optimize the writing process. This 4-week online workshop specifically addresses doctoral candidates who are currently starting, or are currently working on a writing project. Therefore, participants will benefit most from the workshop if they have an upcoming or ongoing writing project (e.g. paper or thesis) and are able to make time for working on their individual manuscripts in between the online session.
