Workshops

Workshop is a practical format focusing on tools and strategies to effectively handle challenges of scientific writing and publishing. The goal hereby is not only to improve the quality of produced texts, but also to make the writing process more efficient and begin a path of continuous development of scientific writing skills.

by Dr. Martina Michalikova

To enable the maximum possible transfer of learned skills, my workshops employ interactive and collaborative methods, including writing sessions, reflections, practical exercises, peer feedback, discussions with the group and in pairs, and Q&A rounds. Participants can access all course materials including slides, handouts and further useful resources electronically during and after the course.

  • Workshops can be conducted onsite, online or in a hybrid format.
  • Live sessions can be supplemented with pre-recorded input videos for self-study.
  • I am also happy to develop a workshop customized to the needs of your group.
