Posthumus Writing Retreat 2026 – sign up deadline 10 April 2026

From 22 tot 27 June 2026, the N.W. Posthumus Institute offers PhDs enrolled in its PhD Training Programme the opportunity to enjoy a Writing Retreat in the peaceful setting of the Abbey of Berne in Heeswijk-Dinther.

Working on your project from home or in a busy university environment may meet difficulties, such as lack of working space, household obligations or many other distractions. Therefore, the N.W. Posthumus Institute wishes to support its PhD candidates by organizing a Writing Retreat. During this 5-day retreat  from Mon (15.00) – Sat (15.00), you will get the opportunity to work on your dissertation or paper in progress with 8-10 of your colleagues in a quiet place, away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

For this year’s edition, a contribution of 250 euros applies; as this will not be fully cost covering, the N.W. Posthumus Institute will cover the additional amount. Applications should be submitted ultimately by 10 April 2026.
