The PhD council is excited to invite you to the next PhD Writing Retreat, taking place on Nov 18-22 2024, on a beautiful farm in Sevenum. The retreat offers a unique opportunity to break away from the distractions of university life and immerse yourself in focused, productive writing time, all while enjoying the calming surroundings of nature and the support of fellow PhD students. You’ll have uninterrupted time to focus on your writing while being guided by two experienced writing coaches who will help you develop strategies to move past common challenges and will also be available for one-on-one sessions. While the daytime hours are dedicated to intensive writing, the evenings will feature fun and relaxing activities designed to help you recharge and enjoy the company of other colleagues.
The writing retreat will be held Nov 18-22 2024 on a farm in Sevenum. Sevenum has a train station and is therefore easy to reach. The PhD council will make sure that you'll easily get from the train station to the farm.
