• Participant input: Each participant is asked to provide, until August 30 (preferably by secure cloud service, or alternatively by e-mail directly to at@reinschrift.ch), a manuscript to be inspected by the lecturer and discussed during the second day of the workshop in group coaching sessions (of 2-3 participants and the coach). It would be ideal to work on active writing projects, for example: manuscripts to be submitted to journals, abstracts, chapters of PhD theses, drafts for an outreach article or blog entry, etc. The texts will be treated strictly confidentially, but participants consent to their potential use as examples during this workshop.
• Equipment: It is highly recommended that each participant bring, if possible, their own laptop or tablet to work on.
  Maximal number of participants: 16
  Corona virus related safety measures: Participants are required to wear a medical/FFP2 mask and keep a minimum distance of 1.5m at all times during the workshop. Each participant is required to provide, upon entering the workshop on the first day, a certificate of either (a) full vaccination (older than 2 weeks) against, (b) recovery from, or (c) negative test (antigen/PCR not older than 48/72 hours) for COVID-19.

Workshop on How to Start Leaving Science

• Dates and Times:
