European Association for the Teaching of Academic Writing

The European Association for the Teaching of Academic Writing (EATAW)[1] is an academic association supporting scholarly activity in academic writing.[2] The association was first established in 1999[3] with the first conference being held in 2001.[4] The Europe-wide association has two main activities: a bi-annual conference, and the Journal of Academic Writing.[5]

The EATAW Conference

The EATAW conference is held every two years in a European University. It was first held in 2001 in Groningen. The occasion of the bi-annual conference is when the EATAW board is elected for a term of two years.[6]
