4th Annual RENT Abstract Writing Workshop
April 23 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm UTC+2

This interactive workshop taking place online on Wednesday 23 April 2025 at 14:00-16:30 CEST offers support on writing an abstract to RENT Conference to be organised in Enschede on 19-21 November 2025.

About this event
Do you want to submit to RENT in Enschede this year? And have you…

• already planned to submit, but need some feedback (especially if it is one of the first times that you submit to the RENT)?
• considered a submission, but are not sure whether your work is a good fit for the RENT?
• a first draft or sketch of your submission and want to further work on it with your peers?

If any of these conditions apply to you, join us for this year’s Abstract Writing Workshop! Together, we will meet on Wednesday 23 April 2025 at 14:00-16:30 CEST online via Zoom and first, get some tips from experienced ECSB members to improve the chances of our submission. While this provides a good point to get started, the majority of this workshop will be spent writing the abstract, getting and giving feedback and jointly reflecting our writing process with support from experienced advisors.

With this interactive workshop, we aim to contribute to high-quality submissions of extended abstracts for the RENT and, from an individual participant’s perspective, we will actually get (most of) the writing done. This workshop entails:

• Expert’s advice on abstract writing for the RENT
• Working individually on your writing
• Reflecting together in small groups
• Giving and receiving feedback from experienced advisors
• Discuss challenges with experts and colleagues

This means that this is an actual workshop in which you will actually work on your own abstracts. To get the most out of this, please prepare a draft version of your abstract beforehand. This can be a rough sketch in bullet points, but bring along a version that you can further work on.

New optional writing session this year: Do you want to continue working on your submission and finalise your writing after receiving feedback? Then join us after the workshop for an hour (16.30-17.30) of focused writing time using the Pomodoro technique! This is optional for all workshop participants, please indicate when registering if you would like to take advantage of this.

Let’s get the abstract writing done together!
