Upcoming Program

Aside from the ongoing efforts to foster diversity competence and to create equal opportunity for female researchers, we identified international and first-generation academics as large groups enriching our diverse team. To cater to the specific individual background and situation of each scientist, we offer tailored coaching.

We will continue to organize further workshops about diversity and inclusion as well as also introducing new information
sessions designed to raise awareness about the difficulties faced by neurodiverse colleagues in research and how this relates to mental health.

An upcoming workshop entitled “Mental Health in the Late Stages of Doctoral Research” will focus on giving both neurotypical and neurodiverse students the tools they need to finish their dissertations without suffering from deep anxiety and depression.
