Workshop: Writing a Scientific Abstract

25-03-2026

Mar 25 2026 (9:30 – 12:30)
Location: Sânwalden, Fryske Akademy
By: Ruth Howison

No matter where you are in the scientific process, writing an abstract can help formulate initial ideas for a manuscript and create a concise basis for discussion and feedback with supervisors.
During this workshop, I will illustrate, explain and dissect the structure of a scientific abstract. You will also write a first rough draft and exchange it with peers for initial feedback.
The workshop is open to interested members of BirdEyes, including master’s and PhD researchers.

Agenda

In addition, we are currently organizing targeted work meetings, building on the traditions that we have developed during the Wadvogelwerk (Metawad-Waddenfonds), Kening fan ‘e Greide for many years, and the black-tailed godwit research in southwest Fryslân.

Centre for global ecological change at the University of Groningen

Birdeyes is a science and creative centre that views the world - almost literally - through the eyes of birds. More and more birds are flying around with tiny transmitters, loggers and other high technology on their backs and legs. This generates an unimaginable amount of information. By cleverly combining such data with other sources of information, and by using new ways to tell stories and share the insights with, BirdEyes strives to open up a new knowledge network. The centre at the Faculties of Science & Engineering and Campus Fryslân aims to be an innovative part of the University of Groningen and is linked to the Rudolph Agricola School for Sustainable Development. BirdEyes, with empirical and inspirational roots in the farthest corners of the world.
