**Description **\\

Our scientific writing workshop teaches the skills for producing scientific papers of the highest quality. A main focus of the course is the structure of good communication. So the workshop includes sessions on the structure of sentences, of paragraphs, abstracts and entire papers.\\
AI is changing the way scientists think about writing and, indeed, about the process of science. Our workshop examines this change, the currently available tools and how (and how not) to use them. This is a rapidly changing area, so our thinking is evolving too.\\
We explain how journals choose the papers they publish, we discuss editing, and group editing. We also have a wide range of thought-provoking exercises allowing participants to practice the skills we teach and play with the AI assistance we introduce.\\
One of the most valuable aspects of the course is the one-to-one feedback we give to each participant. Ahead of the workshop, we ask each attendee to write an abstract about their work. We then prepare detailed line-by-line feedback that we give to each student during the second day.\\
This allows us to show each participant how to apply the ideas we teach to their own work. Participants at previous workshops tell us this is extremely valuable.

Participants are asked to complete an abstract writing exercise ahead of time and submit it by uploading it [[https://seafile.projekt.uni-hannover.de/u/d/d2d6bfdfe59c462aa3d4/|here]] by March 21, 2025. The workshop includes detailed one-to-one feedback on this work with an experienced instructor. This is also an opportunity to discuss any other individual questions and challenges.\\
