This session focuses on how to create a convincing argument in STEM-related writing by emphasising the ‘research space’ and the contribution of the research to wider knowledge. We begin by considering what makes an effective abstract. We then look at the concept of ‘academic discussion’, to show how the contribution of the research can be optimised and ‘sold’ to the reader. The session will focus on self-analysis of research that is either in progress or completed, and so will appeal to researchers who are at the later stage of their projects.

Who is this for?

This workshop is tailored to PGRs in the STEM disciplines. STEM is an academic term that refers to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics - and includes disciplines in the life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, mathematics, computer science, and the health sciences.
