Event Organiser: University College London

To optimise on the momentum gained at our event on 'Writing for Different Audiences', the BA ECR London cluster in collaboration with UCL has launched a writing group initiative.

This is envisioned to provide space for ECRs to work with others on their writing - this can be your next publication, job applications, grant applications or anything else you fancy!

The event runs from 9am - 5pm but you can join and leave anytime. There will be 3 writing sessions of 2 hours each with lots of breaks. Light lunch, snacks, and tea provided. 

If you want to set up your own writing group and need support from us - do reach out and express your interest by completing this form.
