International Writing Lab
Welcome to the International Writing Lab!
Be it a protocol or a master’s thesis; studying without writing is simply impossible. We are here to help you with all your questions about writing. We support all students at the University of Göttingen in working on their current writing projects and developing academic and professional writing skills.Of course, the critical handling of (especially text-generating) AI also plays a role here. On this page, you can find information about Writing Consultations, Workshops and Certificates.NEWS
Brief information on AI and academic writing
This handout will provide you with answers to frequently asked questions about academic writing and text-generating AI such as ChatGPT. You can also find more detailed information with further links on the handout.
Starting from October 28th, you can visit us without appointment in the Writing Lab offices (Heinrich-Düker-Weg 12, ground floor) on Tuesdays between 12 and 1.00. As usual, you may also make individual appointments for writing consultations. Here is a map of the Writing Lab's location.
For detailed information on writing workshops check out our flyer.
As part of the InDiGU-Plus project, the International Writing Lab ISL helps to improve the academic success and labour market integration of international students. Specifically, it organises workshops on academic and professional writing. Here you can find information about the entire programme of InDiGU-Plus.
Within the past semesters, the International Writing Lab‘s funding was reduced drastically, lastly at the end of 2020.
Thus, workshops have been cancelled and events such as the 'Long Night against Procrastination' cannot take place any longer. Further, there are less capacities for writing consulting. Hence, longer waiting periods have to be excepted when requesting a writing consultation appointment.
