    Description

    Open to: All UCL researchers with an interest in environmental studies, self-identifying as early career researchers, e.g. PhDs, post-docs, fellows and newly-appointed lecturers.

    Writing is a key academic activity for early-career researchers, in producing high quality publications and successful funding proposals. However, writing is also a challenge with many tales of stalled writing projects, rushed thesis chapters, unpublished manuscripts and unfinished grant applications.

    The sessions in this one-day event cover multiple aspects of writing relevant to early-career researchers, providing an opportunity to develop key skills critical to a successful career and hear from people embedded in the world of academic writing. This is also a unique opportunity to grab a coffee and network beyond your department in a multidisciplinary environment.

    Keynote speaker Prof Rowena Murray will be presenting the use of writing retreats to facilitate academic writing and her address will be followed by a discussion on whether and how her writing retreat model for academia could benefit UCL researchers.
