Kašpárková, A. ; Etchegoyen Rosolová, Kamila
The project TL01000274 was investigated from March 2018 to November 2021 by two workplaces, VŠB-TUO and Centre for Academic Writing (CAP) with the Czech Language Institute, Czech Academy of Sciences. The goals of the project were to develop a system of supportive mechanims for academic writing and PhD student publication activities in English at VŠB-TUO. The project goals were met and the system has the form of blended-learning courses of Writing for Publication for PhD students, workshops for supervisors, two-semester teacher training and a teaching manual for future teachers in Writing for Publication courses. All the parts of the system are interconnected, and inter alia, led to the establishment of the so-called PhD Academy (doctoral school). This way, VŠB-TUO started working towards a systemic change through a university-wide support for PhD student publication activities in the form of courses provided by scientific writing specialists and also experts from the VŠB-TUO University Library. The expected outcome is improved PhD students' research and communication skills, which shall lead to less painful publication and distribution of supervisors' mentoring resposibilites among more actors.

EATAW 2021: 11th Conference of the European Association for the Teaching of the Academic Writing: Book of abstracts
Kašpárková, A. ; Frančíková, Dagmar ; Etchegoyen Rosolová, Kamila
The theme of EATAW 2021 was “The residence of writing and writing support.” Academic writing is considered an interdisciplinary field. The activities of academic writing teachers and related research head in many different directions. The conference helped us revisit the foundations, and asked seemingly simple questions: Who are we?, Where do we work?, What is our field?, (How) has academic writing become a field?, How do technologies help us?, Who are other stakeholders in academic writing support? Moreover, our theme explored the essence of our work and professional identity in an unprecedented time of the covid-19 outbreak that had put more things in motion than we could have ever imagined. Therefore, we added the question of: What has changed recently? We felt that some of the questions had been here for decades but may have still been unanswered in certain contexts and/or in contexts that keep changing. The conference was held online on July 7 and 8, 2021, and was organized by VSB-Technical University of Ostrava and the Czech Language Institute, Czech Academy of Sciences.
