Venue: online
Duration: April 18 and 19, 2023 9am – 3 pm

This workshop is for PhD candidates and others who are either publishing in international journals, or soon will be. The modules therefore explore how scientific writers can satisfy the expectations of international, English-speaking journal editors, and boost their chances of publication. Participants will learn the techniques they need to write well structured papers which communicate the value of their research with impact and clarity.

Topics include:
• the principles of good scientific writing
• cultural differences in how academic papers are written
• how to structure research articles
• how to build effective paragraphs and sentences
• communicating voice and attitude in a text
• incorporating narrative into academic texts
• abstracts and introductions
• punctuation
• editing techniques

Participants should:
• for an online workshop: have a reasonable internet connection, and have downloaded Zoom
• bring a paper (including its abstract) which they have written (one by another author will also suffice)

“How to get up after falling down” What do we do when things go wrong? How do we respond when we fail or when we have bad luck? Did you know that even BEAM failed the first time? What if … every experience of failure became an opportunity to learn and grow? In this workshop, we discuss the many ways in which things can go wrong and we clarify what failure means to each of us, individually.

Workshop: Self- and Time Management

Workshop: Self- and Time Management

Event Date: 03.11.2021 – 05.11.2021:

“Time can not be bought, stored or stopped. Every second that passes is gone forever. In this respect it should be seen as the most valuable of all resources and the only way to maximize its potential is to use it well. What “well” means in this context is a highly individual thing. You will leave the training with many insights on your own patterns and a toolset to increase effectivity and efficiency. You will have a chance to clarify and prioritise your values and goals and plan tasks and projects that align with your goals. You will identify your particular time wasters and adopt strategies for eliminating them from your work pattern. You will find out about your high energy periods and how to focus your attention. As the planning of scientific research projects becomes more and more crucial, one workshop introduces this topic.”
