Writing Successful Manuscripts to Communicate Geoscience Research

Workshop dates: Saturday, October 9 and Sunday, October 10

This workshop is for geoscience faculty who would like to learn about strategies for improving their own professional writing in the geosciences or who would like ideas for helping others write more successful manuscripts. The workshop is part of the Writing Successful Manuscripts (WSM) initiative of the Geological Society of Africa (GSAf). The aim of the initiative is to help geoscientists communicate the excellent research done in the geosciences in Africa by writing successful manuscripts, by providing valuable peer reviews of work by others, and by helping students learn how to write good papers.

PLEASE NOTE: the language of the workshop will be English.

Additional program details: please see the CAG28 website at www.fsdmfes.ac.ma/CAG28/

After the deadline, we will select participants and ask those who are chosen to complete a final registration form for the workshop.
