这项研究项目对欧洲写作中心的研究做出了贡献。它产生了关于在高等教育中实施写作中心的专业知识。基于对美国有经验的写作中心主任的专家访谈，将产生有关写作中心成功工作的知识。所有专家都在写作中心领域工作了多年，也为写作中心的研究做出了重大贡献。参与者的观察将是对专家访谈的补充，有助于理解美国大学的背景，并反映什么是可以跨文化移植的。大学写作中心支持的学习和教学安排应在整个欧洲高等教育的重组(博洛尼亚话语)中发挥重要作用：写作中心提供个性化和灵活的学习，培养批判性思维和终身学习的关键能力，并为学生在全球化和数字化世界中的未来做好准备。然而，在欧洲建立写作中心仍然很困难。这可能是由于欧洲缺乏写作中心作为一门学科的研究造成的。因此，本研究项目应该为欧洲视角下的写作中心研究做出贡献。

This research project contributes to a European writing center research. It generates expert knowledge about implementing writing centers in higher education. Based on expert interviews with experienced writing center directors in the USA, knowledge about successful writing center work will be generated. All experts have been working in the field of writing centers for many years and also contributed substantial to writing center research. Participant observations will supplement the expert interviews and help to understand the American university context and to reflect what is transferable across cultures. University writing centers support learning and teaching arrangements that should play a significant role in the restructuring of higher education across Europe (Bologna discourse): Writing centers provide individualised and flexible learning, they foster key competencies for critical thinking and lifelong learning and they prepare students for their future in a globalized and digitalized world. Nevertheless, establishing writing centers in Europe remains difficult. This might be caused by the lack of writing center research as a discipline in Europe. Therefore, this research project should make a contribution to writing center research from a European perspective.
