Are you struggling to concentrate and lacking in motivation? Is your writing constantly interrupted by your inbox, social media and trips to the kitchen? Write Here, Write Now (our session based loosely on the Pomodoro Technique) is back with a modified format, online, to help you focus on your writing.

Join us on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:30am to kick-start your working from home!

Our current situation has moved almost all of our work online, including conferences and research seminars. The organisation of these has changed accordingly, and new questions arise.

This session will discuss the organisation of online events and related issues, such as which platforms to choose and how to navigate audience participation. In addition, we will explore the do's and don'ts of conference organisation in general, and discuss what has changed, helping you decide whether this is the right time to put on your event, and what format would suit you.

Join us for a practical session of tips and tricks for your (online) event.
