Description

Abstract

The conference aims to bridge the gap between context-specific insights for the academic environment and general insights on workplace wellbeing and mental health. We will focus on particular on innovations and tools to promote wellbeing and sustainable career development in academia, showcasing the results obtained from two projects: the “Researcher Mental Health Observatory” (ReMO) COST Action, and the “Online, open learning recommendations and mentoring towards Sustainable research CAReers” (OSCAR) Erasmus Plus project. 

The ReMO COST Action focuses on the impact of institutional context, organisational structure and culture, as well as managerial practices on wellbeing and mental health within academia. The OSCAR project on the other hand offers a personalised training and online mentoring service for researchers to support their career management, mental health awareness and wider professional skills development.

The conference will provide a platform for stakeholders from academia, policy, as well as mental health and career development professionals to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and collaborate towards developing effective and efficient prevention and action programmes for improving our academic working environment.
