ECR writing Thursdays: updated schedule for back for the 2026-27 year

In the evolving landscape of academic research, early career researchers (ECRs) face many challenges - particularly finding time to write in their busy daily schedule. If you want a quiet space to write, you are very welcome to the ECRs WRITING THURSDAYS organized by ECRs from the RESET and HELSUS community.
What is it? 

These are weekly Thursday’s afternoons where Early Career Researchers can find the tranquility to write, write and write. You can work on your own chosen academic text. Those writing days are particularly targeted for researchers working on care, justice and sustainability, (also in a broad sense). If you are unsure whether your research fits the group, just join us, and try it out.

When: 

Every Thursdays from 09.30 until 12.30pm from 03.09.2026 until 10.12.2026.
