Junior Network Writing Retreat |

Nine PhD candidates in Early Childhood Research took part in our autumn writing retreat — a weekend entirely devoted to making progress on their dissertations.

With a calm setting in the mountains, participants could dive deeply into their work while also taking time to recharge with walks and fresh air.
What made the retreat especially enriching was the mix of research backgrounds. Students from different disciplines came together to share ideas, motivate one another, and explore new perspectives on their work.

If you're a PhD student in Early Childhood Research and would like to join our next retreat, keep an eye out for updates on the upcoming Spring 2026 session. Details will be shared via the SSECR newsletter, on our homepage, and on LinkedIn. Follow SSECR on LinkedIn to stay updated!
