IntCDC Key Skills Workshop on Scientific Writing – Kick Starting your PhD
This workshop helps participants create a clear, detailed structure for their thesis, providing a roadmap to help them continue their writing after the workshop. Participants receive tips on creating an effective structure and learning strategies for improving writing productivity. They also discover key elements that must be included in each section and are given practical tasks centred on crafting key subsections of their thesis.
