Workshop outline
This workshop offers an invaluable guidance in developing academic soft skills for economic lecturers, as well as for the young economists themselves, who are preparing a class, supervising a student in working on their theses and dissertations, preparing their articles for submission to professional journals, getting ready for their first presentations at conferences, or undertaking their first refereeing assignments.
The workshop can also be helpful for lecturers of other disciplines, for specialists in English academic writing and presentation, and for student placement specialists.
