Veranstaltungssprache: English.
Most PhD projects begin with the writing of a research proposal, sometimes called an exposé. This relatively short text advertises the intended research project to the reader. Some people write this text just for themselves to help them get started on their project. Others write it to be accepted as a PhD student at a university, or to apply for a scholarship or position within a department.
In this workshop, we will look at the project outline as a specific genre of academic writing. You will explore and discuss the expectations that readers of your research proposal might have. You will also have the chance to work on both the academic content and the work plan of your research project, the two typical components of a research proposal.
