Opportunity For Researchers And Student, Let’s Grab The Chance!!!

Enago in collaboration with Technische Universität Dresden will be conducting insightful sessions helping researchers at different career-stages in achieving publication success.

The first session will inform ESL (English as a second language) authors and graduate students how to convey their research in a manner that’s acceptable for publication in peer-reviewed international journals. It will also provide researchers with important and practical tips for correct usage of the English language and grammar.

The second session will delve into the intensifying competition for grants and fellowships, and how it’s crucial for researchers to not only recognize a good call for applications that matches their profile and requirement but also write an excellent research proposal.
