About the topic
Write, just write! If you are a PhD student, you probably have heard these words at some point from your well-intending supervisor. After all, a dissertation not only has to be backed up by research and to be well thought out, but it also has to be written. And as most of us probably have experienced, writing can be very rewarding, but also lonely and difficult. If you need to banish distraction and you benefit from a structured work-day with bounded periods of intense writing, a writing retreat could be just what you need!
The OZSW PhD council is organizing a writing retreat so that you can focus on chasing your PhD goals. Finally, you’ll have time to start that paper, finish your chapter or revise that report that you’ve been meaning to send out. In three days, we’ll aim to achieve your writing goals by offering the possibility to work away from your usual workstation and distractions, schedule intense periods of writing, and reviewing of your work by peers.
