The following career talk is open to all doctoral students of MLU. The talk is organised by research training group “BEAM (RTG 2670): Self-Organization of Soft Matter via Multiple Noncovalent Interactions”
Talk description: Nate Brantingham will be speaking about Mental Health for University Students focusing on practical real advice that can actually help. He will be discussing topics such as self-care (when it can help, and when it does not), depression, anxiety, loneliness, what treatment options exist, and what to do in a crisis. He has years of experience working with students at the University of Illinois campus and would like to share with you what he has learned about what helps students (and what does not). If you, or someone you know, would benefit from a discussion on mental health or if you would just like to be better equipped, then join us.

How can the overall supervision of doctoral students at universities in Saxony-Anhalt be improved? What new concepts are there? What can be learned from doctoral programs abroad? And: What services do postdocs need in order to develop their own academic profile? The new project “Hochschulnetzwerk der Graduiertenakademien in Sachsen-Anhalt” at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) is addressing questions such as these. The aim is to develop new offers and concepts for the doctorate of early career researchers at universities in Saxony-Anhalt. MLU is receiving around 1.6 million euros from the European Social Fund Plus and the state of Saxony-Anhalt for this purpose.
