- April 2026 - A Healthy Working Environment
Birgitte Aagaard Zethsen will join us in this workshop on the key prerequisites for a sustainable and well-functioning work environment: managing stress, maintaining work–life balance, fostering psychological safety, and ensuring clear alignment of expectations. During the workshop, she will present concrete approaches and reflections that can support well-being and professional development, and she will also invite to shared discussions in which we can translate these perspectives into practice.
- January 2026 - Navigation an Academic Career
Renata Mellupe and Simone Rørdam-Preil from Syddansk Forskerstøtte provided us with valuable insights into academic career paths including funding dos and don’ts based on the extensive experience and expertise of the group.
