This one-day onsite event is organized by the SciLink Foundation and the Pattern Horizon Europe project and is designed to support PhD candidates and early-career researchers in navigating the personal, professional, and ethical challenges of academic life.
The festival offers interactive, research-informed workshops on resilience, imposter feelings, work–life balance, career planning, identity development, and well-being culture in academia. All sessions are facilitated by organizational and clinical psychologists and focus on practical tools that participants can directly apply in their daily lives.
