Collaborative Writing

The Berlin University Alliance (BUA) is an alliance of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Together, they are pursuing the goal of creating and shaping an integrated research space in Berlin. This alliance aims to establish Berlin as a leading international science location. All workshops and events offered by the Graduate Studies Support Program are funded by the BUA and therefore free of charge. 

Participation

Doctoral researchers (all disciplines) of the Berlin University Alliance.

Before booking a workshop, please make sure that you can attend for the entire duration. Please check our terms and conditions.

 
Content

Science is a tremendously cooperative undertaking – not just in the abstract sense that we’re building on other people’s work, but also in the concrete sense that our research projects may involve collaboration with others. One example of this is collaborative writing, where we team up with others to write a text together. As all forms of collaboration, however, collaborative writing comes with its own set of challenges: Who does what when, and why? Therefore, we will be looking at collaborative writing in detail: at the team-building aspect of co-authorship and at different techniques academics use in joint text production. Also, you will have the chance to reflect your past experience with collaborative writing and try out collaborative writing in a brief creative writing exercise.

Also check out workshops at the BUA partner institutions that are available for you free of charge: Graduate Studies Support Program.

For workshops held online, participation is allowed under the following conditions: a working camera that is turned on and a microphone to allow active participation in discussions and group work. Headphones must also be used to protect other participants from office eavesdroppers. In this context, we would also like to refer to the rules for digital courses at Freie Universität Berlin (Code of Conduct).
