Library and Schreibzentrum + Writing Centre - Writing Day

Each semester, the Library and the Schreibzentrum + the Writing Centre organise the Writing Day, on which they provide information and advice on all aspects of academic writing. Students, researchers and doctoral candidates at H-BRS, as well as other interested parties, can participate in the free workshops.

How to participate

Detailed information will be provided here as soon as available

The workshops will cover many areas of writing academic writing, including the professional use of reference management programmes such as Zotero, procrastination, optimal Word formatting for theses, and the strategic use of AI tools for research and writing. The workshop will be held both in English and German and some workshops will be offered in a hybrid format to reach a wider audience.

Short breaks and snacks in between will replete your energy and provide opportunity for socialising.

On the day, staff from the Library and Schreibzentrum + Writing Centre will be available to answer your questions at the consultation deskShare your writing and research problems, get advice on your current projects and receive useful suggestions on how to improve your academic writing and optimise your writing process. The event will be accompanied by a media exhibition that lets you browse new resources and delve deeper into the topics of your choice.

In the summer semester, the Writing Day takes place in the Rheinbach campus library, and in the winter semester, it is held in the Sankt Augustin campus library.

Feel free to contact us anytime if you would like to suggest some topics or own ideas.
