Bella Sky Writing Retreat 2024

The graduate PhD programs “Basic and Clinical Research in Musculoskeletal Sciences (#MUSKOS),” “Surgical Sciences,” and “Airways, Anesthesiology, and Skin” invite you to a two-day writing retreat at the Bella Sky Hotel in Copenhagen.

Bring your study protocol, scientific manuscript, or PhD thesis and join us for an immersive writing experience.
