Scientific Writing Workshop - 8 weeks

When writing a paper or thesis, doctoral candidates often face several challenges. Amongst others, scientific texts have to address the target readership, be structured strictly and logically and be written in a precise and concise style. The complexity of such a writing project can be overwhelming, leading to lack of motivation and enhanced procrastination - especially when writing alone, as an isolated author. 

In this 8-week online workshop we will address the components of the scientific writing process, covering efficient planning and writing strategies, techniques for adequate application of scientific style- and structure conventions, and efficient revision and feedback strategies. Besides theoretical input on writing topics, participants will have plenty of opportunity to work with their own text, make progress with their ongoing writing projects and profit from the exchange with fellow writers and mutual text feedback. In addition, we will develop individual strategies to avoid writer´s block and to optimize the writing process.
