 For a successful career in research you must get your work published, read and cited. In our Write it Right (WiR) workshops you will learn how to:
-
Write clear technical English
-
Structure your article effectively
-
Enhance titles and graphics
-
Make an impact
WiR workshops are intended for PhD students, postdocs, and other researchers, who already have some results and wish to make the most of them. Don't be put off by thinking you need some earth-shattering new research. Something is enough! Each workshop mixes lectures and exercises. Discussion is always encouraged.
History: The WiR project was born as an "in house" course in the Faculty of Science at the University of Amsterdam. Following the success of this course we joined the excellent "soft skills" training initiative of NWO (the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research), where WiR workshops were a permanent (and popular!) feature.
We also give WiR workshops at other Institutes, all over Europe, but not too often since we're both full-time researchers. If you want to organise a WiR workshop at your institute, please contact us. Note that our schedule is rather full. We are currently filling in the final slots for 2012.
Unless otherwise specified, to attend WiR workshops organized for a specific Institution you will need permission from that Institution (and the enrolment key) to enrol.
