Open Research Writing Retreat. 

25th October, 9:00-16:30, Lanchester Library.

Description: With a constant stream of emails, meetings, admin, it can be hard to make time to just write. As part of Open Access Week, ORSP are teaming up with the Centre for Academic Writing to run an Open Research themed writing retreat where you will have the chance to fence off the day to work on writing for publication, while learning a bit more about Open Research practices. 

The day will mark out time for you to focus on your work, with regular breaks, while different spaces in the Lanchester Library are made available for you to write. Framing your writing, there will be opportunities to learn about different Open Research Practices, helping you to think about how you might share your work. Please note, this is an all day event; lunch will be own provision, but refreshments will be provided throughout the day.

Dr Joshua Caldicott from the Open Research and Scholarly Publications team will be on hand to discuss options for making your work Open. There will also be opportunities for one-to-one discussions with Dr Catalina Neculai from the Centre for Academic Writing to help support your writing.

So, turn that "Out of Office" on and join us for a day of writing and Open Research!
