Writing Evenings

The Writing Evenings provide the opportunity and space to work on dissertations or other academic texts. The Writing Evenings are open to doctoral candidates, masters students, and postdocs in philosophy. Occasionally, the VDP invites experts in academic writing to share strategies with participants. 

Writing Evenings are held during the winter and summer semesters on Mondays between 15:00 and 19:00 in 3A, NiG, except on holidays and lecture-free periods.
