Various Graduate Campus activities are dedicated to community and the wellbeing of doctoral and postdoctoral researchers at UNIL and CHUV, with the goal of creating connections between the people of all seven faculties, and to combine research with wellbeing.
Doctoral candidates and postdoc researchers can contact the Graduate Campus team at any time to request a one-to-one, confidential discussion, by email.
Given the current circumstances, these sessions are held by videoconference.
Une accumulation de stress provoque des tensions physiques, mentales et émotionnelles. Si ces tensions ne sont pas évacuées, elles peuvent entraîner des douleurs, des troubles fonctionnels et /ou un sentiment d'oppression. Un déséquilibre s'installe entre ses ressources et les exigences professionnelles. Un déséquilibre s'installe entre ses ressources et les exigences professionnelles. Les facultés d'adaptation diminuent, entraînant une dévalorisation de soi, un sentiment d'échec, qui peuvent conduire au burnout.

The purpose of this workshop is to explore ways to make the postdoc time of passage a more fulfilling experience. Together, we will investigate what it is that makes you thrive, what you cherish and what you require to live more fulfilled and happier, not in some distant future but today and tomorrow. You will take a look at your work- life-balance, discover what might be missing, listen to the experience of others, and together craft initial answers to these questions.
As a result of the workshop, you will
assess how content you are with your current postdoc life, including work-life-balance,
understand the significance of a balanced and fulfilled life to high performance,
experience an attitude of curiosity as a prerequisite for a more proactive life,
discover ways in which you can add to the quality of your current life, and
design practical steps to continue on a path towards a more fulfilling everyday academic life.
The workshop also prepares you for your future role when you may have to guide other young researchers and support them in their ambition not only for success but for sustained performance and a fulfilled live.
You are encouraged to bring and share your own knowledge and experience. At the beginning of the workshop, we create a trustful and supportive atmosphere, in which all of us shall feel safe and comfortable to contribute what they already know about the subject.
Please make sure that you can be present during the entire time of the workshop.

The Stress and Energy Management series of mini-workshops ("workouts") has been created for postdocs to provide some essential tools for stress and energy management. The tools are based on easy-to-apply techniques, that focus either on how to handle a stressful situation when it arises, or how to build the capacity to sustain high levels of energy as to be better equipped to face future challenging situations.
The workouts have been designed to be highly interactive and experiential, to make learning more effective and personalized. Participants will be working on real case scenarios individually as well as in small groups.
Module 1 : Navigate Out of Feeling Overwhelmed
This Workout will help participants to get out of the feeling of being overwhelmed. At the end of the workshop, they will be able to recognize a situation in which they feel overwhelmed, know what specific factors trigger the overwhelm and find their way out in a more empowered way.
Module 2 : Take Charge of Your Time: The Power of a "Positive No"
In the workplace more often than not we find ourselves in situations where we would like to say No ...yet we end up saying yes, often out of fear of hurting people or destroying important relationships. In this workout, participants will learn the important and art of saying a 'positive no' through a simple, proven three-step technique.
You'll find further information and be able to register for these mini-workshops on our online platform.
