Research & Expertise

We are all aware that in order to communicate our research results to the global academia we have to adopt the academic register. But what does it really mean and why is it essential for increasing our credibility and visibility? 

This semester, Tatiana Skopintseva’s series of workshops on cross-cultural communication provided AWC visitors with an opportunity to discuss identity, cultural diversity, and effective communication strategies. 

That is feedback from one of the participants’ of the course "Basics of Writing an Empirical Research Article in English." And what about you? Are you aware of the differences between the English and Russian academic writing traditions? 

This fall the AWC had a unique opportunity to invite a world-renowned specialist in research writing to share her experience with our colleagues in a series of workshops.

The traditional AWC Welcome Day was as exciting as always and gathered about 100 participants. The workshops explored a diverse array of topics, from a reviewer's nightmares to AI tools for writing a literature review. Each session was packed with innovative ideas and practical advice that inspired and engaged participants.

What is the best topic to open the year with? Something almost everyone is concerned with and wants to talk about at the moment: the consequences of AI’s fast invasion for science and education.

We are pleased to share good news: the AWC resource center has acquired new literature on using modern technology in education and advanced research-based teaching practices.

The Academic Writing Center elegantly closed the spring semester with a discussion about the role of emotional intelligence and empathy in a researcher’s work.
