This resource- and application-oriented workshop is tailor-made for female academics, with and without family. It provides participants with space and an allowance to stop and take stock of their situation. They will explore the themes of life balance, self-care, self-organisation, resilience and sustainable working practices within the challenging academic setting.

We will discuss individual factors influencing one’s psychological health and occupational functionality, such as individual priorities, role expectations, resources and life-style factors as well as the psychological model of resilience. In addition, we will look at practical ways to implement these concepts in everyday life. Participants will assess their current life balance while exploring ways to reallocate resources, time, and value to different areas of their life in order to build a working schedule that is sustainable. Emphasis will be placed on having a reflective experience, trying out new techniques, promoting benevolence with oneself in order to create individual and truly long-lasting solutions.
