Proofreading of English Contributions

Do you need support in drafting English-language articles? The Potsdam Graduate School offers its members - PhD candidates and Postdocs & Juniorprofs of the University of Potsdam - the possibility of a professional proofreading by our language coach. We support our members during the publication process of English-language contributions, e.g.: a publication in a peer-reviewed journal, a conference presentation or a poster.

Please note: The provisional budget management has a significant impact on the funding opportunities of the PoGS. As our funding offers are financed by budgetary funds, all activities must be checked for necessity before funding is granted. We are not allowed to approve any funding without prior authorisation from Department 4 (Finance and Procurement). You must therefore obtain the approval of Department 4 for your activity or measure in the form of a check sheet before applying for funding from PoGS. This applies to all PoGS funding opportunities. The check sheets must be submitted via Form.UP. Further information can be found on the intranet of the University of Potsdam (in German).
