Writing Practice for Scientists – session cancelled

Description

This workshop is aimed at researchers, PhD students and academics who want to improve their scientific writing skills.

Do you have writer’s block ? Are you unsure of what style to adopt ? Or do you have difficulty articulating your ideas clearly and concisely?

Come and empower your inner writer in a small, motivated group, led by a teacher who listens to your needs.

You will be able to brush up on the grammar points you’re struggling with – and which you need – and learn the phrases sentence structures used in academic and scientific literature.

Using a “progressive” method, you will start with analysing existing texts, thus familiarising yourself with the relevant expressions, which you will then practise in gradually more complex writing in line with your field of research.
