Irish Academy of Management PhD Virtual Writing Retreat Series
Hosted by Technological University Dublin

Virtual Event: 14th - 18th November

The Irish Academy of Management were delighted to present its fifth PhD Virtual Writers Retreat Initiative. This event was hosted by the University of Limerick following the successful event hosted by Technological University Dublin in March 2022. This series offered a collegial virtual environment to promote PhD academic progress facilitated by established academics. Its goal was to support progress in PhD skill development through mutual motivation and communal accountability.

What is a PhD virtual writers retreat?

What is a PhD virtual writers retreat?

This virtual writing retreat provides a block of time (2.5 hours each day over 5 days) to focus on the writing process. By writing within a community of other PhD students the aim is to facilitate your progress through mutual motivation and communal accountability.

This virtual event was facilitated by a senior academic who offered advice at each break as questions arise relating to the retreat. It was also an opportunity to meet with peers and discuss opportunities, challenges or strategies for writing. Within the writers retreat, a formal discussion session facilitated by a senior academic took place on a topic relating to the PhD or writing process e.g. managing writers block, strategies for writing.
