This PhD course focusses on enhancing the students’ skills in academic publishing, through the organisation of a series of workshops. Academic conference papers, articles and book chapters are considered key formats in academic communication and also formative for learning how to write longer texts, such as a PhD thesis. As a course, there is a strong focus on learning by doing, at the level of writing and evaluating academic texts, also providing insights into the context of presenting at conferences and publishing articles & book chapters.
