2024 YCN Workshop in Tampere

EMC (ECerS Network on Additive Manufacturing) and YCN were partnering to support young researchers in their scientific writing for the 4th YCN Workshop called the ECerS Writing Retreat. The Writing Retreat took place on May 2nd- 5th at Murikanranta Oy in Teisko (Tampere, Finland) prior to yCAM 2024.

The aim of the Writing Retreat was to provide an environment for researchers to develop their dissemination skills and to fully focus on writing their scientific publications. This remote, unfamiliar location was perfect to break away from daily commitments and distractions and kickstart writing projects.

The agenda was composed of more than 65% of pure writing time as well as lectures given by four invited speakers to help young researchers develop their writing skills, optimize their efficiency, and increase their chances of publication. Salla Westerstrand (AI Designer/Ethicist), Prof. Paolo Colombo (Editor-in-Chief of Open Ceramics), Dr Martina Michalikova (Scientific writing trainer) and Dr Camilla Imarisio (Cell Press editor) dedicated their time to the group of young researchers.

A small but active and efficient group of 20 participants from 15 countries created optimal conditions for focused work with fast progress as well as exciting discussions. Networking activities (Sauna, Mölkky and other games) were organized on the evenings to get to know each other and extend each professional network.

A new Special Issue (YCN-EMC) in Open Ceramics has been created in the framework of this ECerS Writing Retreat with a 50% discount for APCs and a best paper award of 1000€. The deadline for submission is 31st October 2024 and YCN/EMC teams are the guest-editors.

Due to a very good feedback from participants, it is clear that this of event should be organized again.
