Scientific writing is often understood as an individual activity, yet much of contemporary research involves collaboration across disciplines, institutions and research communities.

This course explores the dynamics of collaborative writing in academia, including co-authored papers, interdisciplinary projects, writing groups and shared documents. Participants will examine how working with others can change the way scientific arguments are developed, structured and communicated.

Through practical exercises, participants will explore strategies for distributing writing tasks, creating shared understandings, negotiating different writing styles and disciplinary perspectives, and making decisions collectively throughout the writing process.

Beyond improving efficiency, the course invites participants to reflect on how writing communities can transform scientific thinking and communication itself.
