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.
You will learn how to make your ideas visible and how to work with them.
A good topic is the basis for all further steps; together with the research question, it represents the common thread of your writing process and your text.

In this workshop, we will discuss the pitfalls of writing an academic text in English (as a non-native speaker) from a structural perspective. A well-structured text will help your reader to follow your thoughts and understand your line of argumentation. We will also discuss how to develop an outline for the text and thereby plan the writing process.

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.
