AcWriMo (Academic Writing Month)

This guide contains information about, and links relating to the UniSC AcWriMo (Academic Writing Month) program.

About AcWriMo

Academic Writing Month (AcWriMo) is a ‘festival of writing’ that aims to bring the UniSC research community - HDRs, honours students, post-graduates, ECRs and researchers, together in a month-long focused effort to advance their writing goals. AcWriMo is a collaborative effort of Learning Advisers, UniSC Library, and IT Specialist Technologies.

This year we are excited to include two new offerings for Undergraduate students: developing your academic writing skills half-day and preparing for and refining longer research projects full-day in October. We are also running two full HDR days in November this year with writing workshops, panel discussions, and dedicated writing time included to make it easier to plan. 

We are looking for HDR writing champions and experienced researchers keen to share their knowledge and skills. 

Keep an eye on this page for registration details. And any questions, email studentsuccess@usc.edu.au
