“Impulse” conducts an intensive Writing Meetup

The beginning of the summer has become an excellent opportunity for “Impulse” to conduct an intensive Writing Meetup. This Meetup enabled the participants to enhance their skills in writing research papers in English, which is particularly important with the advent of AI tools. Participants noted that the new knowledge and skills inspired them to start or continue working on their research projects. Additionally, the Writing Meetup served as a platform for exchanging experience among UTMN researchers, creating a pleasant atmosphere for collaboration and scientific self-expression. 

Participants' feedback 
Natalia Shestakova, Institute of State and Law 
Writing Meetup 2025 was very productive for me, especially in relation to developing the ability of critical reading. Pleasant communication among brilliant, successful scholars allowed me to receive good experience of discussing questions. Much useful scientific information was presented by lecturers and representatives of different disciplines.

Elena Pelevina, Center for Foreign Languages and Communication 
Thank you very much for such a useful and inspiring meeting, especially as it was my first experience in academic writing. Practice and further discussion made me understand how to approach my own study. The practical tips and examples were very helpful and informative. Hope to attend similar workshops in the future.
