The WRITING Café 2023

The goal of the Writing Café is to give you the opportunity to regularly devote time to your writing projects among peers. All doctoral researchers of the Berlin University Alliance (Freie Universität, Humboldt-Universität, Technische Universität und Charité) are welcome to join any time. Spread the word!

The Writing Café will take place once a week - every Thursday in 2023 (either from 9-11am or from 6-8 pm - check the agenda). Write on your project in a group, alone or in tandems. An expert will be present to answer questions and provide brief one-on-one consultations (both English and German). Every last Thursday of the month the trainer will offer short input on different writing topics per your request.
