Upcoming event
This writing retreat is aimed at providing a friendly space for writing and networking and in particular ECRs, organised by the Education for Environmental Sustainability SIG.
From feedback received during the Meet and Greet at the BERA/WERA Conference, our members felt they would benefit from more informal spaces where networking can take place.
The proposed Writing Retreat will provide a good balance between networking and time for focus and for writing. The timing of this Writing Retreat was particularly chosen for January 2025, which will coincide with abstract submission deadline for the next BERA conference in 2025.
Colleagues who join may work on any of their research writing, however we thought that providing this writing space in January, may also encourage more abstract submissions. The Writing Retreat we are proposing will provide a space for working (writing/working on EfES related journals/PhDs) and facilitate networking: the online element will make it accessible to participants from various geographical areas in the UK and internationally.
During the retreat we are proposing regular breaks where EfES SIG Colleagues can share their EfES news, projects and activities, and network with others that may be working on similar themes to encourage more research collaboration.
