Strategies for Writing Scientific Papers (C1)

Description

Scientific writing in English is an essential skill for the efficient documentation and communication of research, e.g. in academic journals. This one-to-one tutoring service provides a space for doctoral students to work on their own texts and to individually assess and improve their English writing skills under the guidance of a qualified teacher. The ultimate goal is to enable doctoral students to publish their scientific results in English with minimal linguistic assistance. For this purpose, various tasks focusing on strategies and tools for scientific writing will be made available, so that participants can apply suitable linguistic structures at an advanced level (B2/C1) and avoid systematic errors.
