Still fighting with Word to format your thesis? LaTeX handles citations, cross-references, figures, and formatting automatically — so you can focus on writing, not fixing page breaks.

Our workshop covers everything from setup to submission-ready documents.

Have a look at our past events we had, for example at @rwthaachenuniversity
