To optimise on the momentum gained at our event on 'Writing for Different Audiences', the BA ECR London cluster in collaboration with UCL has launched a writing group initiative.
What a brilliant time we had writing yesterday! Thank you for creating this focus space-time for us. (email from one of the participants at our last writing retreat)
This is envisioned to provide space for ECRs to work with others on their writing - this can be your next publication, job applications, grant applications or anything else you fancy!
The event runs from 9am - 5pm but you can join and leave anytime. Light lunch, snacks and tea/coffee provided.
- 9.00 - 9:30: coffee, introductions, post-it activity
- 9:30- 11.00: BLOCK 1 writing
- 11.00 - 11.30: break
- 11.30 - 1:00: BLOCK 2 writing
- 1.00 - 2.00: lunch break
- 2.00 - 2.30: word association writing activity
- 2.30- 4.00: BLOCK 3 writing
- 4.00- 5.00: wrap up, post-it feedback, future plans, networking
If you want to set up your own writing group and need support from us - do reach out and express your interest by completing this form.
