Online Writing Retreat for Early Career Scholars

ZOOM EVENT: WEDNESDAY, 25 FEBRUARY 2026, 13:00-16:00 CET

The EISA ECD Group is organizing an Online Writing Retreat for Early Career Scholars aimed at sharing writing strategies and creating a friendly, encouraging environment for writing. The event does not require any prior preparation – just booking and dedicating time for focused writing on anything you are currently working on: your thesis, paper, or application. At the beginning, Dr. Tom F. A. Watts will share suggestions and his experience on writing. The event will continue with a writing retreat and conclude with a brief reflection at the end.
