Boosting writing skills of NARILIS researchers with the Journal Article Writing Workshop from Scriptoria

From April 22-24, 2024, NARILIS had the privilege of hosting Dr. Laura Knogler, head of Scriptoria's training department. With a PhD in Biological sciences and extensive experience as an author, editor, and peer reviewer, Laura provided invaluable guidance to twenty-three NARILIS researchers, including 6 clinician-researchers from CHU UCL Namur and 17 PhD students from UNamur.

During this 2.5-day workshop, she shared insights into planning, developing, and writing scientific manuscripts, using real-life examples from both basic life sciences and clinical research. Theoretical sessions alternated with participant-led exercises and group discussions to put the learning into practice. Attendees left with a lot of new knowledge and concrete tools to help them improve their writing quality and get published.
