This workshop will help participants polish their written English for academic landmarks such as dissertations, papers for journals and presentations at conferences.
The lingua franca of science today is English and thus the advancement of an academic career usually involves submitting papers in English. This workshop is aimed at up-and-coming academics who are in the process of writing their dissertation in English or intend to hand in papers for conferences and publication.
Putting ideas on paper in English may seem straightforward but there are profound stylistic differences when presenting ideas in English, particularly in written form.
Many Germans find that reading papers by English native speakers is often easier despite the language barrier. We will be looking closely at the reasons for this. It is certainly not a case of clarity at the expense of content. There is also the issue of the choice of words beyond terminology. To expound the importance of cultural style, we shall be studying texts from the academic world so that participants can fully grasp the differences and thus prepare themselves for the real event.
In addition, we shall also be looking at formal requirements which differ slightly from those in German and will also be reviewing abstracts to pave the way for future acceptance.

Die Trainer*innen:
The lingua franca of science today is English and consequently, the advancement of an academic career usually involves submitting articles to journals in English. This workshop aims to ease the transition from student to professional.
What constitutes an engaging research paper? How do you write an intriguing abstract? Why do some studies grab the spotlight while other equally deserving contributions are largely ignored? In other words, what makes an article successful?

To elaborate on this, we shall refer to articles in peer-reviewed journals such as Nature, Science, or PNAS to fully understand cultural style as well as the differences between journals.
