PUBLISH PAPERS THAT MATTER
in the Age of AI
Write better papers — with clarity, purpose, and responsible AI use
1-day live-online workshop for experienced academic authors and research teams
Why join this workshop?
Scientific publishing is changing fast — not just because of AI, but because expectations of impact, relevance, and contribution are rising. While AI can draft, edit, and summarise text, experienced researchers are still responsible for deciding what is worth publishing, what truly matters, and how knowledge should be shaped.
This workshop brings experienced academic authors together to step back from writing more papers and focus instead on writing papers that matter — while gaining a clear, realistic understanding of how AI can (and cannot) support academic writing without undermining authorship, integrity, or judgement.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN?
This workshop is not about tools or templates alone. It is about better writing decisions — what to write, how to shape it, and how to work with AI responsibly.
- Write with greater clarity and purpose
- Understand what editors and reviewers actually look for
- Apply a practical writing framework from idea to submission
- Use AI tools ethically and effectively — without losing author voice
- Define concrete next steps for their own paper
FEATURES
- Fully interactive live-online format
- Guided reflection and peer exchange

WORKSHOP FOCUS
This workshop brings experienced researchers together to reflect on two central challenges in academic publishing today:
- Writing papers that matter — not just increasing output, but sharpening contribution, clarity, and impact
- Using AI ethically and effectively — as a support for academic writing, without losing author voice, ownership, or scholarly judgement
The workshop offers a shared space to update writing strategies, align with current publishing expectations, and develop a realistic, responsible approach to AI in academic writing.
WHO BENEFITS MOST?
- Experienced researchers, postdocs, and professors who write and publish regularly
- Research teams or departments seeking a shared writing framework
- Scientists who want to use AI responsibly without losing ownership of their work
Participants leave with renewed motivation, realistic tools, and a clearer understanding of what makes papers publishable today. This workshop is not an introduction to academic writing; it is designed for researchers who already publish and want to sharpen judgement, clarity, and impact in the age of AI.
