*During your PhD, you can benefit from courses, workshops and services to develop important skills for your doctorate and your personal development.
Starting an ambitious project like a PhD requires planning, time management, work discipline and a clear mind around goals, expectations, and respective roles between the PhD candidate and the supervisor.

Three-day retreats with full board in a beautiful place that promotes concentration, allowing you to focus on writing your thesis, or a scientific article, or other writing projects.
Up to 21 hours of productive writing in 3 days!
In collaboration with the HES-SO
Retreats are held at the Crêt-Bérard between Lausanne and Palézieux.
Inspired by the methods and retreats organised for several years in Canada by Thèsez-vous ?, we combine the Pomodoro, SMART-ER goal and Kanban board methods, and boost them with a collective approach to writing.
We take care of everything: accommodation, meals, activities. You focus on your writing goals!
