Workshop on Science Writing
20–27 November 2019
Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat

After 10 successful workshops on Science Writing in the southern and western parts of India, Current Science is organising a training Workshop for scientists, researchers and science faculty in the North East, for the first time. The Assam Agricultural University will be hosting this eight-day Workshop from 20 to 27 November 2019.

Current Science, an open access journal, endeavours to make scientific advances accessible to all. Besides building the capacity of scientists and researchers to write different types of manuscripts and reviews, in a manner that is appropriate for the readers of the multidisciplinary journal, the Workshop series aims to improve the writing of grant applications and project reports.

To achieve this aim, the eight-day Workshop will be preceded by a month-long virtual online Workshop. The Workshop is followed by two-weeks online mentoring. Selected participants are expected to take part in online interactions actively to upgrade their skills. Applications are invited from interested faculty in Indian universities, and scientists in Indian research institutes. Special consideration for applicants from the north-eastern states of India.

Participant profile

o Ph.D. degree in any branch of science or at least two scientific papers in peer reviewed journals.
o Knowledge in working with word processors and internet browsers.

Only 14 persons will be selected for the Workshop to allow group discussions, interpersonal interactions and hands-on training. Arrangements will be made for the boarding and lodging of the selected participants.

Registration fee: Rs 10,000 (to be paid on selection) includes accommodation, food, and Workshop expenses. Optional subscription for Current Science is to be included.
