During the Summer School’s Writing Workshops, one group (Advanced Group) will work on their real manuscript, while the other group (Beginners Group) will begin a manuscript or work on other writing projects such as abstracts, literature reviews, PhD proposals, memos and reflections, etc.

- Optimally, you have prepared figures and tables
If you do not complete at least the first three points listed above you will join the 'Beginners Group'.

- Meeting the facilitators of the Summer School’s Writing Workshops: Anne Mündermann and Anja Matthiä
- Defining the two groups (Beginner or Advanced)
- Setting your own goal(s) for the Summer School (What do you want to write on)
