Dear all doctoral students,
Welcome to the Swedish LIS Doctoral School Network Writing Retreat on the 25-26 October.
The Writing Retreat will take place at Elite Stora Hotellet in Örebro, just opposite
Örebro castle. The retreat will give ample of time for writing, but it will also offer
networking opportunities, a discussion with experienced researchers about writing as an
LIS scholar, and some time for recreation and fun. You can see a preliminary schedule
below.
The Writing Retreat is the first of its kind and has been made possible through the
support of the Swedish Library Association.
Please register for the retreat through this form no later than 23 September:
https://www.hb.se/en/research/doctoral-education/our-phd-programmes/library…
Please indicate when you will arrive - the programme starts at 9.00 on the 25 October, so
you have the option to arrive the night before and have dinner together. Please also
indicate if you want to participate in one of the recreational activities (please note
that the SPA has limited capacity, so please register early to secure your spot) and if
you have any dietary requirements.
Travel arrangements should be made as soon as you have registered. Doctoral students at
the University of Borås are asked to organise their travel through Via Egencia. Doctoral
students from Uppsala, Lund, and Umeå, please contact Anette Trennedal
anette.trennedal@hb.se<mailto:anette.trennedal@hb.se> to organise your travel to and
from Örebro.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the retreat.
Kind regards,
Anna
