The Mental Health Awareness Days 2025, which will take place from 2 to 4 December, are a joint initiative of Leipzig University, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, yDiv/iDiv and HIGRADE/UFZ.
The aim of the graduate institutions and occupational health management is to inform and raise awareness of how you, as researchers at our universities and research institutions, can deal with challenging situations and conflicts in your research activities.
The event is open to all interested doctoral and postdoctoral researchers from the participating institutions. Supervisors are also welcome.
During the three days, various online activities (mostly in English) will take place, e.g. relaxation exercises and a series of short workshops on topics such as stress reduction in private and professional life, leadership positions and well-being in the academic environment, playfulness in the work context, and time and self-management skills. The Mental Health Awareness Days 2025 will kick off with the panel discussion Mental health in the workplace – talking openly, learning together which will bring together different scientific perspectives, personal experiences and practical approaches to the topic of mental health.
