European Network of Emerging Scholars (EUNES)

✨ Last Friday, we wrapped up our very first FOCUS session, expertly guided by Dr. Michael Johann. A big thank you to everyone who joined us for this productive and inspiring start! 🙌 📅 Stay tuned—details about the next session and theme will be announced soon! 💻 But before that, let’s kickstart the week strong with MMM tomorrow. Join us for a focused online writing session and —see you there! 💪✍️ #FocusReading #WritingCommunity #ProductivityBoost 👨🎓 👩🎓

📢 Monday Manuscript Madness: Monday 9-11 AM! 📢 Join us this Monday from 9:00 to 11:00 AM for our legendary online writing session—where productivity might happen, and WiFi issues definitely will. Expect: ✅ A supportive (and slightly sleep-deprived) writing crew ✅ The sweet sound of frantic typing (or existential sighing) ✅ Breakout discussions on real issues like “Why is my reference manager plotting against me?” ✅ A high-stakes game of “Who forgot to unmute?” BYO: coffee, snacks, and the illusion of control over your deadlines. See you there! (Unless you forget and panic-join at 10:45—no judgment.) P.S. I am not a cat 😹

Happy Weekend and remember Monday Manuscript Madness 😎

Great to see this idea blossoming: In the past few years, and in collaboration with the European Network of Emerging Scholars (EUNES) and the Northern Advanced Research Training Initiative (NARTI), we have organized #writing #retreats to support scholars in strategic communication research in making progress with demanding projects and advance manuscripts towards publication. I am happy to share that Andrea Gutzeit is now taking this initiative forward to make the writing retreats available more often and to more scholars — also beyond our community of #communication academics. To make this happen, Andrea will collaborate with the network on Writing for Research and Academic Practice (WRAP). More information: www.academic-offsite.com. If interested, please get in touch with Andrea and share this with anyone you might feel would be interested in participating in a writing retreat. -> Academic Offsite Andrea has also agreed to keep supporting our retreats for #strategic #communication researchers, which Dr. Melanie Malczok, Rickard Andersson, Hana Moravcová, and I will keep alive for our community. We strive to offer one of these retreats per year. DM any of us if you are interested and we will keep you posted.

Mondays = Manuscript Madness! 📝✨ Join us for an energizing online writing session every Monday morning from 9 to 11 AM CET—no better way to kick off the week than making progress on your writing! Fun fact: ChatGPT insisted on the term 'Mausstupt' despite multiple corrections, so we’re rolling with it this week and dubbing it Monday Mausstupt Madness! 😅 Ready to write? See you tomorrow 🙌 Reach out to Denis Šimunović for the zoom link
