Based on the internationally renowned Academic Writing Month, and in collaboration with the School of Graduate Research, RMIT’s Research Writing Month is tailored to the unique needs of the university’s Higher Degree by Research writers.
This month-long initiative provides an opportunity to enhance writing practices, share experiences, and foster a supportive community. It will feature a wealth of workshops as well as writing sessions such as Write Here! Write Now! and Thesis Boot Camp. We will kick off with an engaging panel discussion with established RMIT researchers that will set the stage for a month of intensive and rewarding writing activities. The month concludes with a celebratory event and a chance to share your achievements.
Don't miss this opportunity to explore and enhance your research writing journey!
Join us for this in-person event featuring well-established RMIT scholars discussing what it takes to become an effective research writer. The panel will consist of:
Topics will include habits for writing well, tools and the use of Gen AI, writing for a researcher audience and managing the peer review process. Participants will have the opportunity to ask their own questions in a Q&A followed by refreshments and afternoon tea.
