Writing Events

There are several events the Schreibzentrum / Writing Center organizes throughout the academic year.

Long Night of Writing

The Long Night of Writing allows you to get started on your writing project. During the event we will give impulses for taking those crucial first steps, how to handle writing hurdles and how to engage with academic literature. Writing next to other people, as opposed to doing it alone, can give you that boost of motivation that you have been missing! Our team is on hand to answer any question you might have.

The 20th Long Night of Writing will take place on 19 February 2026 on campus
