Program de scriere academică pentru tineri cercetători

Curs de Scrieri academice

De la cercetare la publicare: program de scriere academică

O oportunitate pentru doctoranzi

Cursul De la cercetare la publicare: program de scriere academică e un program practic de scriere academică, dezvoltat în colaborare cu SEA Open Research.

Programul urmărește dezvoltarea unor competențe esențiale pentru redactarea academică, prin sesiuni aplicate, concentrate pe provocările reale ale scrierii științifice.

Temele abordate includ:

Cadrul metodologic
Înveți să proiectezi și să explici metodologia cercetării cu mai multă claritate, coerență și precizie.

Arta argumentării academice
Îți dezvolți capacitatea de a construi argumente logice și convingătoare, care susțin în mod solid rezultatele cercetării.

Gestionarea stilurilor de referențiere
Aplici corect stiluri precum APA, MLA sau Chicago și descoperi instrumente care pot simplifica procesul de citare și organizare bibliografică.

Testarea ipotezelor
Înveți să formulezi, să dezvolți și să testezi ipoteze de cercetare prin abordări bine structurate și raționamente solide.

Programul este potrivit pentru studenții doctoranzi care doresc să își dezvolte încrederea și competența în scrierea academică. Participarea într-un grup restrâns de colegi oferă un cadru de învățare colaborativă, sprijin și feedback aplicat.
Cursul se desfășoară integral online, într-un format flexibil și accesibil, adaptat programului academic al doctoranzilor.

Student Workshops @ UNESCO Chair Engineering for Society

Between November and December 2024, the UNESCO Chair Engineering for Society hosted a series of practical workshops designed to build transferable skills for students — the kind of skills that bridge formal academic training and the demands of professional life, but that are rarely covered systematically in a degree programme.

The series covered six topics, each delivered in an applied, hands-on format with small groups to allow direct interaction and feedback.

Workshop topics

Data work with Excel

  • Data Modeling with Excel — building structured spreadsheet models for analysis and decision-making
  • Data Analysis with Excel — using Excel as a data analysis tool, from pivot tables to formula-driven dashboards

Communication and presentation

  • PowerPoint: Formatting & Design — visual hierarchy, typography, and slide layout principles
  • PowerPoint: Discourse Structure & Visuals — how to structure a talk so the audience follows, and how to design visuals that support (rather than distract from) the message

Academic and professional skills

  • Academic Writing for Young Researchers — practical foundations of academic writing, from argument structure to citation discipline
  • Using the Agile Principles — introducing students to project management thinking through Agile, with applications in research and team work

The workshops were designed to address a consistent gap observed across student cohorts: technical competence in a discipline does not automatically translate into the ability to structure information clearly, communicate it persuasively, or organise complex work over time. By focusing on these specific skills, the workshops gave students tools they can apply immediately — in their thesis work, internships, and early-career projects.

Format and participation

Each workshop was delivered in a session-based format, allowing students to choose the topics most relevant to them. The small-group structure prioritised direct practice and individual feedback over passive listening.

New Academic Writing Programme for Young Researchers

We’re excited to launch a new opportunity for early-career scholars! In collaboration with SEA Open Research, we introduce the Academic Writing Mastery Series for Young Researchers—a practical programme designed to strengthen essential writing skills.

This four-week series invites participants to dedicate just two hours per week to focused, hands-on workshops. Each session addresses a critical component of academic writing, helping researchers prepare stronger manuscripts for publication.

The topics covered include:

  • Crafting a Methodological Framework – Learn to design and explain your research methodology with clarity and precision.
  • Mastering the Art of Argumentation – Improve your ability to build logical, persuasive arguments that support your findings.
  • Handling Referencing Styles – Apply citation styles like APA, MLA, or Chicago accurately and efficiently. Discover tools that streamline the process.
  • Putting Hypotheses to the Test – Develop and test research hypotheses using well-structured approaches and sound reasoning.

This programme suits postgraduate students and researchers who want to grow their writing confidence and competence. By joining a group of peers, participants benefit from a supportive environment where collaborative learning accelerates skill development.

In addition, I am pleased to announce that in partnership with the UNESCO Chair Engineering for Society  a free, shortened version of this course is available. This special edition is exclusively dedicated to students of Politehnica University of Bucharest. To enrol, please register with your institutional email address here.
