Seminar/workshop: 

Workshop: Academic writing - From perfectionism and procrastination to flow

When: 2025 (exact date will be announced)

Where: 

This workshop, for PhD students, is in collaboration with Finish on Time and focuses explicitly on academic writing and common psychological aspects surrounding it. You will get access to a toolbox which helps you work more happily and productively, starting today. We will be addressing how to build writing habits and manage common psychological obstacles to academic writing, such as perfectionism and procrastination. You will also learn how to achieve a sense of continuous flow in your writing process.

More information about the workshop including dates will come.

Meet a Professor

We are excited to announce an opportunity to organize a subject-specific event, titled "Meet a Professor”. This event shall provide PhD students and Postdocs with the possibility to, in a smaller group, have in-depth discussions with an expert in a specific field and will, thus, offer a unique platform for engaging with experts in one's field and delving deeper into specific research topics.

This can be organized either digitally or in person at SLU. If you have a specific subject or a professor you would like to engage with to discuss your research in detail, please get in touch with us.

Do you have an idea for a seminar or a workshop?

GS-VMAS has funds available to grant money for seminars and/or workshops. If you have a visiting research partner or an opponent present for a dissertation it may be a great opportunity to combine this with arranging a seminar or workshop.

Please contact us and we will let you know whether funds are available for your idea.
