Reading, fast and slow

Shifting gears from skimming to deep dive

Sabine Schneider, M.A., M.A. (CERes)

Reading is an essential skill for researchers, but often feels like a time-consuming task, leaving you overwhelmed and unmotivated. What if you could read more efficiently, shift gears in your reading speed, and in doing so increase your comprehension and motivation? In this interactive workshop, you will discover and practise a set of reading techniques. By adjusting the pace and level of scrutiny based on the reading material and purpose, you will be able to focus better and enjoy reading tasks more. The workshop consists of two half-day sessions (13 March 2026, 10am–1pm & a virtual follow-up on 27 March 2025 from 10am–1pm), with additional self-learning exercises between the two sessions.
