Writing Retreat 

A writing retreat is a collaborativ effort of researchers to meet up over a few days to work on individual writing goals in a supportive, non-surveillance environment. The writing process can be shared with the group during joint breaks, also with the intention to help each other out with helpful advice and encouragement. 

                Next Writing Retreat: 9^th-12^th May 2025     

This Spring, we will hold the fifth Writing Retreat of the SSECR Junior Network at the Lake Zürich from 9 to 12 May 2025. The retreat is directed to all members of the SSECR Junior Network and other interested PhD students within the field (Early Childhood Research).

What is a writing retreat?
A writing retreat is a collaborativ effort of researchers to meet up over a few days to work on individual writing goals in a supportive, non-surveillance environment. The writing process can be shared with the group during joint breaks, also with the intention to help each other out with helpful advice and encouragement. 

Where will it take place?
The retreat will take place at the Gästehaus Lichthof of the Kloster Mariazell Wurmsbach in Rapperswil-Jona, directly at the lake of Zürich (https://www.klostermariazell.ch/DE/home.htm).

How much does it cost?
For Juniors under the age of 35 who have to pay for their own accommodation, the cost is CHF 55 per night. For researchers older than 35 or people who receive financial support from their university, the cost is CHF 120 per night (meals included). The common working room as well as a simple dinner, which we organize ourselves, is funded by the SSECR.

You can choose to stay one to three nights or just work with us during the day.

Where and when to register?
If you are interested, please send us an email with your contact details, preferred room option (with or without roommate) and number of nights until 01.04.2025: eva.heuss@phsg.ch

A group size of 10 people is targeted to support quality exchange in a manageable group. SSECR members are prioritised over non-members for the registration.
