"The workshop was already very well received in 2025 and was rated as extremely beneficial by the participants," says Dr Theresa Wand from the Graduate and Research Academy (GraFa). "Creative methods support the introduction to writing, help to reduce inhibitions and achieve individual writing goals. The exchange of ideas in small groups proved to be a particularly important resource for motivation, mutual support and sustainable networking for the participants of the first writing camp."

Clearly structured writing times in the university library, supplemented by practical input on goal definition and writing methods as well as concentration and self-regulation strategies in cooperation with Atempause (a collaboration between the ARMINT and Sisters Mentoring projects) ensure that doctoral students take time for academic writing. "We want to provide valuable impulses for a reflective and mindful writing process and give them space to write scientifically without distraction and with full concentration," adds Dr Julia Meyer, Director of the University Library and expert in writing studies.

The writing camp strengthens writing skills, self-organisation and motivation in the long term. From 3 March 2026, doctoral students from all disciplines are once again invited to take advantage of this opportunity.
