Writing Retreat 

A writing retreat is a collaborativ effort of researchers to meet up over a few days to work on individual writing goals in a supportive, non-surveillance environment. The writing process can be shared with the group during joint breaks, also with the intention to help each other out with helpful advice and encouragement. 

           27th-30th September 2024                        

The fourth Writing Retreat of the SSECR Junior Network will take place at the Lake Zürich from 27 to 30 September 2024. The retreat is directed to all members of the SSECR Junior Network, and other interested PhD students within the field (Early Childhood Research).

Where will it take place?
The retreat will take place at the Gästehaus Lichthof of the Kloster Mariazell Wurmsbach in Rapperswil-Jona, directly at the lake of Zürich (https://www.klostermariazell.ch/DE/home.htm).

How much does it cost?
You can stay alone in a double room for CHF 100.- per person and night or share a room with another junior for CHF 70.- per person and night.
Breakfast is included and for lunch (starter, main course and dessert) there is an additional charge of CHF 25 per meal. The common working room as well as a simple dinner, which we organize ourselves, is funded by the SSECR.
PhD students under the age of 35 and those who are not financially supported by their institution receive a discount (20-30% depending on the conditions) on the prices.

You can choose to stay one to three nights or just work with us during the day.
