mdw Writing Retreat

Since 2025, the Research Support Office organises an academic mdw Writing Retreat in Hochstrass.

The mdw Writing Retreat is aimed at all mdw academic staff who would like to take time for concentrated writing in an inspiring and supportive environment.

In a relaxed, natural atmosphere away from the stress of everyday life, you can concentrate on your scientific texts or applications. The retreat is designed to provide you with space for productive writing, creative thinking, and exchange with colleagues.

What you can expect:

Structured writing time
Comfortable accommodation with full board
Relaxation offers (such as mindfulness training or yoga session)
Formats for peer exchange (e.g. Walk & Talk)
Support session and, if needed, individual counseling on topics such as time management and overcoming writer's block

The application for the 2027 Writing Retreat is set to open in November 2026.

The number of participants is limited to 15 in order to ensure a productive working atmosphere.

Participation is only possible for the entire duration.
