Write, connect and recharge with fellow researchers at OsloMet
RISE invites its members to join a writing retreat near Espa (Innlandet) from 28–30 October 2026.
The retreat is designed to provide a supportive environment for focused writing, while also giving participants the opportunity to connect with colleagues from across OsloMet. It is especially suited for researchers working on an ongoing writing project, such as a PhD thesis, a postdoctoral research project, a manuscript, a journal article, or another academic publication.
The programme will include structured group writing sessions, dedicated writing time, informal discussions and networking opportunities.
