We know it from our own experience: writing academic texts is not something you can do on the side, and it can sometimes feel overwhelming. In addition, you often feel like the only person who has to tackle the challengs of writing - it is helpful to know that others feel the same way.

We asked you what you liked about the UB|SchreibCamp ... here are the answers:

• "The most important thing for me was a productive environment and other fellow students. BaseCamp was ideal, with a relaxed yet focussed atmosphere and other people."
• "I liked having a fixed place and a kind of 'commitment' to come to the library and write."
• "What helped me? The group atmosphere, the rooms and the new people with whom it was easy to 'just go with the flow'."
• "The chance to take a break together motivated me to reach my goal by then."
• "The most important thing for me was no longer feeling alone while writing my term paper."
• "What helped the most was the lunchtime exercise followed by a writing sprint. This meant I didn't experience a midday low and kept me very balanced and able to work productively."

The next UB|SchreibCamp will take place in the week from 01.09. to 05.09.2025 in the LK Library on the Duisburg campus.

We start in the morning with a check-in and end the day together with a check-out. Both take place in our BaseCamp. There is also room for a cup of coffee and a writing tip or two from your writing buddies and our experts.

In addition to a space for consultations, we have various training rooms for the courses and another training room for our WritingSprints. Please register for the sessions. Registrations will be activated two weeks ahead.

The UB|SchreibCamp is open to all UDE students who have an academic term paper in front of them and may want to hand it in soon.

Are you studying at another university and would like to take part in the UB|SchreibCamp?
No problem! Just send us a message to schreibcamp.ub@uni-due.de.

Participation is of course free of charge. There are limited places for the sessions; please register for them.

Our aim is for you to find a good writing community that helps you write your text, motivates you, and shows you that you are not alone in facing the sometimes very challenging task of writing.

You can find all information about registration here on the website and in our Moodle course room. Registration will be activated approx. two weeks before the start of the event. We will inform you about the announcements in the forum and of course on our our Instragram channel (@ub.de).

If you have any questions, please write to us at schreibcamp.ub@uni-due.de.
