Join us this October for RMIT Library’s first Research Writing Month and take the next step towards achieving your research writing goals!
Based on the internationally renowned Academic Writing Month, and in collaboration with the School of Graduate Research, RMIT’s Research Writing Month is tailored to the unique needs of the university’s Higher Degree by Research writers.
This month-long initiative provides an opportunity to enhance writing practices, share experiences, and foster a supportive community. It will feature a wealth of workshops as well as writing sessions such as Write Here! Write Now! and Thesis Boot Camp. We will kick off with an engaging panel discussion with established RMIT researchers that will set the stage for a month of intensive and rewarding writing activities. The month concludes with a celebratory event and a chance to share your achievements.
Don't miss this opportunity to explore and enhance your research writing journey!

RMIT University Library acknowledges that discrimination and prejudice are expressed through language and that attitudes and cultural values are evident in the way we choose words. This library guide has interchangeably used the terms Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Indigenous and First Nations. We did not always choose the words, but rather the resource being referred to uses those words. This library guide was constructed with the core value of respect.
In 2017 a group of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representatives from around Australia produced the Uluru Statement from the Heart. This landmark document calls for recognition of Aboriginal sovereignty, constitutional reform, a Makaratta (Treaty), truth-telling, and a voice to Parliament. Explore the Statement and its background.
