SPTK 2026: Writing Futures - Rethinking writing together

The Student Writing Peer Tutor Conference (SPTK) is a dynamic space of exchange that will take place at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder) in 2026. From 14 to 16 September 2026, we will bring together students, writing tutors, teachers and researchers to shape the future of academic writing. We understand writing not as a mere technique, but as a social and relational practice. In a time of profound change through digitalisation and AI, we ask: How can we create new forms of belonging and participation through writing? The conference is based on the concept of relationship-rich education - because learning and writing arise in relationships.
