Talk on mental health

Life in academia can be both rewarding and overwhelming. Whether you're an expat navigating a new country and/or a PhD or Postdoc student or a group leader working in the world of research: Academia brings unique mental health challenges.

The pressure to publish, unclear working hours and research setbacks can lead to high frustration and mental distress. In this talk, we’ll explore how these stressors can affect you, and discuss practical approaches to better manage your workload, improve your mental health, and restore balance between work and life. Afterward, join a Q&A to share insights and strategies with fellow academics.
