Organizing a Writing Workshop

You want to organize a Writing Workshop? We will support you!

What is a Writing Workshop?

The goal of a Writing Workshop is to encourage an active examination of a topic or a perspective of pluralist economics. In the course of a 2-3-day workshop about 15 participants (students and young scholars) will discuss and reflect different topics.  Their aim is to write scientific essays that, after going through an academic review process, will be published on Exploring Economics. Essays can be written in English and German and it is possible to involve international online participants.
