Trainings purpose & pitch
No-one starts a PhD to have a burn-out. But it happens a lot. What starts full of inspiration, motivation and positive energy can become a long journey, full of monsters: Free working hours become unbalanced time investment; focus turns to perfectionism, stress and worry; independent with long-term goals becomes isolated and stuck with no real feedback… In the world of PhDs, each individual is still more likely to NOT have a burn-out. But someone will.
The purpose of this training is to raise awareness of burn-out issues for PhD candidates, encouraging reflection, regular consciousness and positive (personal) action.
