Write to convince

Personalised training in science writing

Answering a call for projects, writing a grant proposal or a progress report. There are many opportunities in which scientists need to write high-stake documents. The way they will be read and understood can have important repercussions for you and your institution. This training course on effective writing entails three steps. Before the training session, you will send a document you want to work on to your trainer who will analyse its content. On the training day, you will learn about science writing fundamentals and the best way to apply them to your case. After the training session, you will benefit from personalised advice until the completion of your document.

The rhythm of the training course was very pleasant: theoretical training and tools / examples / exercises / breaks, everything was done at the right time. Dense, but exactly like it should be. The personal coaching session was also well thought-out.

The fact that we work on concrete examples and receive tutored training, is very valuable. The trainer quickly understands the context and challenges of the written texts, and uses them very well for educational purposes!

I have the feeling that I learned a lot of things that change the way I approach scientific writing.

The last part, an individual coaching session, is undoubtedly an advantage to build on some theoretical notions or new skills.
