Dear all doctoral students,

Welcome to Swedish LIS Doctoral Education Network Writing Retreat on the 7-9 November.

The Writing Retreat will take place at Varbergs Kusthotell (https://varbergskusthotell.se/en/). The retreat will give ample of time for writing, but it will also offer networking opportunities, a workshop on referencing, and some time for recreation and fun. You can see a preliminary schedule below.

The Writing Retreat has been made possible through the support of the Swedish Library Association and is open to all LIS doctoral students in Sweden.

Please register for the retreat through this form no later than 17 October: https://www.hb.se/en/research/doctoral-education/our-phd-programmes/library-and-information-science/resource-transforming-reading-and-source-criticism-in-digital-cultures/registration-to-writing-retreat-7-8-9-november-2023/

Please indicate when you will arrive – the programme starts at 8.30 on the 8 November, 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 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 (including Linnaeus) are asked to organise their travel through Via Egencia. Doctoral students from Uppsala, Södertörn, Lund, and Umeå, please contact Anette Trennedal anette.trennedal@hb.se to organise your travel to and from Varberg.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the retreat.

Kind regards,

Anna
