Reading, fast and slow

Target group: doctoral and postdoctoral researchers

Reading is essential for researchers but can feel time-consuming and overwhelming. This interactive workshop introduces practical techniques to read more efficiently, adapt your reading speed, and improve comprehension and motivation. You will learn to adjust pace and depth based on purpose and material, helping you stay focused and engaged. The workshop includes two half-day sessions (14 January 2027, 9am–1pm, and a virtual follow-up on 29 January 2027, 9am–1pm), plus guided self-learning exercises between sessions.

Objectives:

• Skim and scan texts rapidly to identify key information and save time

• Dive deep with active reading and annotation strategies to improve comprehension and retention

• Develop a personal reading toolkit to increase performance and motivation

Facilitator: Sabine Schneider, (CERes)
