  \nFor many scientists writing is the most difficult part of research wor
 k. Poor structure\, breakneck formulations and unclear argumentation lead 
 to texts which are not too user friendly. However\, for the success of aca
 demics it is essential that the content is successfully conveyed to the re
 levant target groups – from the subject community to the wider public. 
 The methods and instruments of scientific writing can be learnt. With a fe
 w select mechanisms for structuring and techniques for building arguments\
 , it becomes possible to articulate even complex data clearly and comprehe
 nsibly. Coherently built up and convincingly formulated\, even academic te
 xts can be an exciting read! In this workshop the process of academic wri
 ting is highlighted from the first idea through the structuring and format
 ion of the text to its completion. The participants engage with the conten
 t related\, formal and organisational aspects of writing and train their t
 ext competency with exercises. The following topics are covered: \n \n\n
 \nAbstract\, article\, thesis: Text types and reasons for writing in acade
 mia \nFrom idea to text: Topic selection\, structure\, argumentation \nR
 ummaging\, digging\, serving it hot: Research strategies \nWriting as a p
 rocess: Utilising creative bursts – avoiding blocks \nIntegrating AI in
 to the writing process: Opportunities and limitations \nThe eye reads too
