We are excited to invite master’s students and early career researchers at academic institutions in Norway to participate in an interactive seminar designed by Norec in dialogue with CMI in Bergen.
🌍 Young researchers often find themselves unprepared for the mental strains that comes with graduate and postgraduate studies, particularly when their research projects include research stays and/or fieldwork abroad.
🎯 The goal of this seminar is to mitigate this by raising awareness about the stressors and pressures young researchers tend to experience, with a particular emphasis on mental wellbeing on research stays.
The seminar will be facilitated by Per Sjöberg, a clinical psychologist at the Institute for Psychological Counseling (IPR).
He has extensive experience working with individuals and groups in high-performance and high-pressure environments, including academia.
His expertise includes:
🧠 First and secondary trauma
💬 Stress management
💪 Resilience building
🌱 Personal development, with a particular focus on supporting professionals navigating demanding careers.
For this session, Per will facilitate a conversation on mental hygiene during and after fieldwork and research stays, offering practical tools and insights to help researchers maintain well-being and balance in their academic journeys.
📍 Where: Abdel Ghaffar Meeting Room, Chr. Michelsen’s Institute (CMI), Bergen
🗣️ Language: English
👥 Format: In-person, to encourage active participation and create room for sharing experiences, concerns and finding solutions related to research travel together.
