From 2nd to 4th March, PhD students from all departments were invited to take part in a digital writing workshop. This was organized by the junior scientists support initiative (NFI) as part of the commission for junior scientists (KFWN) and was intended to give the junior scientists the opportunity to take time together to write and work on their dissertations in a focused manner. In addition, a workshop by Prof. Claudia Voelcker-Rehage and Prof. Heiko Wagner, provided insight into writing an ethics proposal with the opportunity to exchange ideas on ethical issues. Overall, the writing workshop under the management of Katharina Ludwig, Charlotte Raue and Julian Rudisch was perceived as profitable and can hopefully be repeated in presence in the fall.
