Writing Retreat for PhD students

13 April - 15 April 2026

Powered by Promotionskolleg Brandenburg / Brandenburg Graduate School for Applied Sciences

A few days away from your usual workplace to focus calmly and productively on your own writing — that’s the idea behind the writing retreat. Together, we create a structured writing environment with dedicated writing sessions and optional mini-workshops (e.g., “How can I get into writing more quickly?”, “How do I structure an introduction?”, “How can I stay productive throughout the day?”), led by the experienced writing coach Dr. Martina Michalikova. Short yoga sessions support active recovery and help you stay energized and motivated to work on your text throughout the day.

If desired, the writing coach also offers individual 25-minute one-on-one sessions, which may include targeted feedback on your text.

When:                13 – 15 April 2026 each from 9 am to 3 pm (if required: with individual writing coaching sessions from 3 to 5 pm)

Where:               Seminar room at Botanical Garden in Eberswalde

Who:                  Doctoral candidates and Postdocs

Language:         English

Writing Coach: Dr. Martina Michalikova (website: https://writingscientist.com/about/)
