As part of the winter semester 2026/27 discussion series Disciplines in Motion, the Faculty Center for Transdisciplinary Historical and Cultural Studies is hosting a one-day workshop on academic resilience.
Researchers across Europe are increasingly confronted with challenges that affect their work and well-being. This workshop offers analytical frameworks, practical strategies, and opportunities for exchange to strengthen individual and collective resilience in academic environments. It provides a supportive space for early-career researchers to reflect on the conditions of academic work and share experiences.
The programme addresses different dimensions of safety in research, including ethical, digital, psychological, and physical aspects. Topics include self-censorship, mental health, Austrian law, and support and counselling services at the University of Vienna.
The workshop is aimed at early-career researchers at the Faculty of History and Cultural Studies. Participation requires attendance for the full day.
