Background
As a fresh PhD student or Postdoc, it is not always easy to be aware of all the written and unwritten rules in the academic setting, and many often lack experience in handling work-related conflicts. Young researchers may react too late when conflict occur, which can make the situation difficult to turn around. In this course we will focus on the importance of a good psychosocial work environment and on how young researchers can influence their own situation at work. Our goal is to give the participants a set of tools to better prepare them for any challenging situation they may meet in the academic work environment, and to discuss and share tips and strategies that contributes to an efficient and successful progression of their PhD or PostDoc.
