The network Women IN Great Sciences – WINGS – is happy to invite you to a workshop called A toolbox for increased productivity – from efficiency to effectiveness!
Aim: The aims of the workshop are 1) to provide new work strategies and to shift the focus from what you are working with and the content to how you are working and the process of your work, and 2) to learn how to reduce stress levels at work.
Content: In the workshop, you will learn three productivity tools and apply them to your own work situation. The tools are easy to implement and have a large impact. In addition, you will learn about causes for stress within the academic environment and different ways to deal with it. The workshop has been much appreciated among researchers and has been given at Lund University, KTH The Royal Institute of Technology and University of California, Berkeley.
Teachers: The workshop instructors are Åsa Burman, PhD in practical philosophy from Lund University and management consultant within Finish on Time, and Henrik Levinsson, senior lecturer at the Department of Psychology, Lund University.
Conditions:
- The workshop is open for all researchers (doctoral students, postdocs, associate professors, senior lecturers, professors etc.) but priority will be given to female researchers who have recently been awarded their PhDs.
- First come, first served is applied, however, WINGS strives to have a balance of members from the Faculties of Science, Medicine and Engineering.
