You are not sure yet what you could write about? Maybe you already have a rough idea but don’t know how to generate a good topic and an interesting research question from it? In this workshop, you will find out.

It can be very frustrating to work on a project over months and to struggle forward while writing, researching, working and living at the same time. Sometimes, this can make PhD students feel lonely and especially under the given circumstances regular exchange with the supervisor and fellow PhD candidates may suffer. In order to create a feeling of togetherness in these challenging days, the Writing Centre opens its virtual doors for PhD students from all areas in order to exchange experiences, and we will present some tools you may need to gain back motivation.
We regularly offer workshops both in German and English. You can find information about topics, dates, locations, and registration instructions usually first on our German-language website.
We are always trying to improve our seminars. Do you have any ideas or specific topics you would like us to address? Send an e-mail to: schreibberatung@uni-potsdam.de
