Writ­ing my way. Sci­entif­ic writ­ing strategies for every­one

"And now, all I really have to do is write..." This online workshop focuses on the process of academic writing and highlights various methods, approaches, and strategies to get your research texts moving, whether for your dissertation or beyond.

With plenty of time for reflection and experimentation, we combine insights from writing research with practical tips and peer discussion. Participants will address key questions to help them effectively shape their writing process:

  • How can I start, continue, and finish my texts?
  • Is it really better to start writing early or wait until later?
  • What writing tips, ideas, and exercises are out there, and which ones actually work?
  • How can I overcome slumps in motivation and writer¡¯s block?

This workshop is designed for researchers from all faculties who are either just starting a writing project or are currently in the middle of one. The only prerequisite is a willingness to reflect on previous writing habits and to experiment with new techniques to expand your repertoire and identify helpful strategies.
