Writing Week

What is the goal?

Focused writing time - community and exchange - feedback and support

The gender*bildet writing week offers academics with gender-related issues the opportunity to devote themselves intensively to a writing project as part of their qualification or research - be it a dissertation or habilitation, an abstract, an article or a research proposal. The centrepiece is the focused writing time together, which not only promotes productivity, but also enables students to be mindful of their own resources. In addition, individual writing coaching offers targeted support for specific challenges and helps to develop customised solutions. Participants are invited to withdraw from everyday life for a week and devote themselves entirely to their research work. They can write undisturbed, exchange ideas and find support in a concentrated environment far away from the university and the world of work.
