In the workshop, you can work on your article manuscript, grant application, research plan, conference abstract/presentation, blog post or any other text. The idea is to provide an opportunity to focus on writing in a quiet atmosphere. The invitation is for all staff members (e.g. research and teaching staff, doctoral students).
The next workshop will be held in 2023. If you are interested in the collaborative writing workshop or you have ideas concerning the workshop, please contact Anssi Roiha or Tuike Iiskala (anssi.roiha@utu.fi or tuike.iiskala@utu.fi). Welcome!
