Stress and resilience for researchers
Cluster
Leadership & personal efficiency
Target group
Doctoral researchers of the Doctoral Schools of Ghent University and postdoctoral researchers, no previous knowledge required.
Aim
The aim of this workshop is to understand how stress impacts our body, mind and performance. While keeping a balanced perspective, we provide keys to lower stress and to increase resilience.
The first session is targeted at informing participants and inspiring them to change their (thinking) habits. The second session acts as a follow-up session where we evaluate what (doesn’t) work and add some additional theoretical insights to foster durable change.

Objectives
Participants will:
