CEMS warmly invites expressions of interest in a workshop aimed at helping PGRs and ECRs to develop articles for publication. This in-person session will provide participants with detailed feedback on their writing, specific guidance on navigating the relevant peer-review process, as well as the opportunity to discuss their work and ideas in a collegiate environment.

The workshop will take place in June 2024 at KCL. All participants will be required to submit a completed article draft in advance of the session by Friday 31 May 2024 (max. 10,000 words). Each paper will receive around 30-35 minutes of discussion.

The workshop will be held in-person and attendance is a prerequisite for participation in the process. Participants will be expected to have read all other papers in advance of our meeting. Please do bear this in mind when considering your application. 

The deadline for expressions of interest is Monday 26 April 2022, at 5pm. Please email cems@kcl.ac.uk with the following information in order to apply:

• Name

• Stage of research (please include expected or actual date of thesis submission)

• Department / Institution

• A paragraph outline of your PhD project (max. 300 words)

• A provisional article title (we will not hold you to this, but this will help us to match your work to a suitable scholar)

• Proposed place of publication (max. 2)

We welcome applications from PGRs and ECRs outside of King’s, but numbers are restricted for obvious reasons to a maximum of 8 participants. As such, we will prioritise KCL students in all instances, and then PhD candidates and ECRs thereafter.

Please do send any questions to cems@kcl.ac.uk. We look forward to hearing from you.
