Participants feedback
“I never thought the workshop would be as hands-on as it was. I really learned things I can readily apply when I’m writing my PhD proposal.”
“Martina was very competent and highly motivating, making the zoom meeting enjoyable and a safe space to speak up about somehow sensitive topic (future decision..).”
“I learned about differences in writing style between paper and proposals, connected with others in a similar position, learned about the different proposal types, and got motivated to try it out!”
