European Association for the Teaching of Academic Writing

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

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.

The Journal of Academic Writing
The Journal of Academic Writing is a peer reviewed journal established by EATAW. The journal, first published in 2011, generally has one issue a year with articles based on presentations from the preceding conference. The journal has published a number of articles that have been widely cited. These include:
