Hold your writing to the same rigorous standards as your research
My interactive workshops allow you to bring your own research topic, to collaborate on tailored exercises, and to harness AI to craft clear, publication-worthy writing. Walk away with practical strategies to ensure your findings never sit idly in the literature.
Too often, scientific texts are dense and convoluted, despite the importance of the research. My workshops offer you practical strategies for clarity, conciseness, and conviction in your writing. You will learn to structure paragraphs and sentences effectively, to vary your vocabulary and sentence length, and to use AI tools to support your process.
What sets this workshop apart is its highly interactive format. You are invited to bring your own research topic so you can tackle real-world challenges. I will tailor examples and exercises to your specific field, and you will collaborate in pairs and in group discussions, exchanging insights and feedback. Individual appointments with the trainer top the workshop off. This personalized approach ensures each participant builds confidence in their writing skills in a setting directly relevant to their work.
Do not assume your research speaks for itself—learn to transform your findings into engaging texts that leave a lasting impression.
