The Institute of Education, University of London is organising its first 'Becoming a Published Academic Writer' summer school this summer!

The school is open to all academic or post doctorate researchers working in higher education irrespective of discipline. Attendance for the 3 days is essential as the sessions are not 'stand alone'.

All participants will return to their institution/university with a draft journal article, a chapter for a book or a book proposal.  Such work and disciplines learned at the School will assist with the forthcoming REF.
