Kathmandu and Tribhuvan Universities, Nepal

CIHE is engaged in an academic writing project (2024-2026) 'Academic Writing Workshop for Nepali ECRs in Humanities and Social Sciences' with Kathmandu and Tribhuvan Universities, Nepal and Coventry University, UK. The project is funded by a British Academy grant.

We delivered an intensive five-day academic writing workshop to 25 early career researchers (ECRs) in Nepal. The workshop was a series of hands-on teaching and support sessions on developing academic writing capacity, bid writing, networking, and article publishing, and was delivered by the academic team members and journal editors.

Following the workshop, participants have been supported by the team via video conferencing. Participants have been provided with constructive feedback, and their draft articles proofread and copyedited to illustrate best practice in academic English.

Participants were drawn from the seven administrative regions of Nepal plus Kathmandu. A stratified sample of applicants ensureed parity between genders and marginalised Indigenous groups. In addition to improving writing standards, we also provided participants with the opportunity to present at the 2026 NELTA Conference.
