Projects

For more than 15 years, the International Writing Lab has been offering the “Academic Writing Partnerships” program, which is open to all students at the university and focuses on intercultural exchange paired with writing process experiences in small groups.In the winter semester 2025/2026, supported by staff from Forum Wissen, the writing partners will produce texts related to topics covered in the “Atelier” at Forum Wissen as part of the project.

The trAIns project (2025-2026) is funded within the Enlight framework.

As part of the project, the International Writing Lab hosts the event ‘Virtual Exchange: Using AI Generated Translation Deliberately and Responsibly across (Language) Borders’ twice during the winter semester 2025-2026. It is aimed at students of all disciplines from Göttingen, Ghent, Tartu and other Enlight universities.
The focus is on deliberate and responsible use of AI translation tools in multilingual studies and intercultural communication. In international teams, participants develop strategies for using AI sensibly, ethically and consciously to bridge language barriers – without losing critical thinking and linguistic sensitivity.
