Academic Writing in English: Effective Strategies for Publishing Your Research (05.-06./19.-20.02.2026)
This on-site workshop provides the perfect support structure for PhD writing projects.
Are you planning to write a research paper or dissertation and are asking yourself how to best go about it? Or, have you started writing, but are unsure how to most effectively bring across your ideas and findings? Or, have you finished a draft and are wondering how to best polish it for publication?
If these or similar situations sound familiar to you, this workshop is for you. You will learn how to best express yourself, what criteria a well-written academic paper in English needs to fulfill, and how you can manage the writing and publication process most productively.
Together, we will discuss important requirements for developing powerful English sentences, paragraphs, and texts that meet the expectations of readers, reviewers, and editors alike. For that, we are going to work closely with your own work in progress in order to practice how to effectively organize the writing process and how to successfully prepare your papers for publication. You will also get the opportunity to receive both peer and expert feedback on one of your own pieces of academic writing.
