Title: Winter School Revise & Revitalize
Copyright: Luca Priller

The 6-day Winter School offers pre- and post-doc researchers the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of scientific writing and presentation as well as to establish healthy working habits in a productive and supportive atmosphere.

The goal of the Winter School is to demystify the unwritten rules of scientific writing and provide researchers with a clear blueprint for their articles and presentations. Modules on scientific writing and presentation are balanced with revitalize sessions that focus on holistic health and insights on how to build a sustainable career in research.

The program is composed of 3 days of inputs on academic writing, presentation and healthy working followed by a 3-day writing retreat. Writing & revitalize coaching sessions, fireside evenings and peer exchange complement the Winter School.

The Winter School is designed for junior and senior researchers working on English-language dissertations or journal articles who want to further develop their skills for careers in academia or scientific communication.

The next Winter School will take place in Spring 2027.

The Winter School exceeded my expectations. I applied for a training – and received six days of self-reflection, very helpful practical guidance on academic writing and presenting, and wonderful new contacts with other enthusiastic academics. Thank you very much for this great experience!

The Winter School gave me much more than just knowledge about academic writing and presenting. The time I spent with a wide variety of people from different disciplines showed me how valuable the exchange with other researchers truly is. Above all, I also learned a lot about myself and rediscovered my value as a PhD candidate.

I can confidently say that the LBG Winter School was one of the most valuable experiences of my academic career so far. The workshop was not only well-organized, but provided practical advice and strategies for improving my writing and presentation skills. The facilitators were highly knowledgeable and experienced, and they created a supportive environment where participants felt comfortable asking questions and sharing their work. Overall, I highly recommend this workshop to any researcher, whether they are just starting out or are further along in their academic journey.

When applying for the Winter School, I never anticipated that I would benefit so much. It not only taught me how to sharpen my academic writing skills, but also enabled me to acquire a daily writing habit. It allowed me, as a non-native speaker, to embrace the challenges of English writing and also helped me, as a young scholar, to be mentally prepared for the challenges of academic life.
