Join researchers, policymakers, and disaster management professionals for two intensive days of focused writing in Australia’s capital. Whether you’re drafting research papers, policy recommendations, or grant applications, Disastrous Writing provides exactly what you need: a dedicated distraction-free environment and meaningful connections across the disaster resilience sector.

What to expect:

• Protected writing time - Structured deep-work sessions free from emails, meetings, and daily interruptions

• Cross-sector networking - Connect with colleagues from academia, government, and practice during curated breaks designed to spark future collaborations

Over two days, you’ll alternate between intensive writing sprints and networking opportunities, all while enjoying catered meals courtesy of Natural Hazards Research Australia.
