Hi Everyone

Thanks for sharing an interest in establishing a dedicated time and place for NUBS ECRs to progress their research writing.

Venue information: Room 2.23, The Core, Science Central

Adjacent to the silent work space is a break out room where refreshments can be consumed away from your writing area

To share the admin burden, we’ve set up a self-booking system using Doodle Poll so that you can reserve your space on the dates that you are able to attend

Please follow the link below:

Please note that the room capacity is limited to 18

Even if you cannot make this Four Fridays pilot but are interested in being part of the writing club in future, please let us know in the comments section at the end of the Doodle Poll!

Thanks!

ECR Writing Club

Summer 2017 schedule

Four Fridays (August 11, 18, 25 and September 1) from 9-4pm

followed by a Social Drink in town

(venues to be confirmed)

Today we met to share our ideas of what a supportive research environment would look like for Early Career Researchers (ECR).

This led to the idea of assembling an inclusive and supportive writing club that primarily provides a regular academic writing environment for ECR from Newcastle University Business School.

This initial pilot invites any Lecturers (Grades F & G) and Postgraduate Researchers in either the MOS or LWO Subject Groups to join.

For four consecutive Fridays this Summer, we will organise a silent community workspace and an adjacent area to relax and revive with refreshments that participants bring for sharing with others.

At the end of every session, the idea is to follow the session with a social drink somewhere in town to allow ECRs to get to know each other.

Numbers will be restricted based on room capacity.

Registration details to follow soon.

Organisers:

Josephine Go Jefferies, Lecturer in Marketing

Ana Javornik, Lecturer in Marketing

Laurence Vigneau, Lecturer in International Management

Rebecca Casey, Lecturer in Information Systems Management
