The five-day writing week offers members of the KIT Graduate School Cultures of Knowledge the opportunity to withdraw from everyday life and devote themselves specifically to writing. The aim is to further develop individual writing projects (articles, dissertations).
Intensive writing sessions form the structure of the weekly schedule. Support is provided by an external consultant (Dr. Jutta Wergen, Coachingzone Wissenschaft). Individual coaching sessions and opportunities for exchange between the CuKnows complement the program.
If you are interested, please register by the end of September at anna.keitemeier@kit.edu.
