Academia and research centers are very dynamic institutions that promote and sponsor creativity and the freedom of their employees. However researchers and other professionals in research are under a lot of pressure to teach and produce high-quality research, and that can take a toll on their wellbeing.

In this workshop you will:

• Understand some of the most common causes that affect your wellbeing and produce stress and burnout. 
• Learn how burnout is expressed, the not always obvious signs and behaviors. 
• Considering burnout from the perspective of a systemic occupational phenomenon, you will acquire tips and methods to deal with it not only at a your personal level, but also within your team (colleagues and peers) and, whenever possible, at the institutional level.

Study commitment

In preparation for the workshop you should do a burnout test and read an article. More information will be sent to the participants some days before the course starts.
