Dynamics of Youth Meet-Up: Growing as a starting researcher
Do you sometimes find yourself facing uncertainty about your academic career? Wondering how to strike a balance between work and personal life? Are you taking care of your mental health during your PhD or postdoc? Or perhaps you occasionally struggle to navigate the complexities of university systems?
The theme of this Meet-Up is "Growing as a Young Researcher at UU." In this edition, we’ll explore the challenges, turning points, and support systems that shape the early stages of an academic journey—whether you're currently a PhD candidate, a postdoctoral researcher, or someone who supports them as a colleague or supervisor.

About the DoY Meet-Ups
The DoY Meet-Up is a collaboration of all DoY communities. We exchange perspectives from different disciplines and provide space for new collaborations to emerge and strengthen existing ones. The DoY Meet-Up takes place on the first Tuesday of the month from 15:30 to 17:30 and consists of two programme parts: the first mainly substantive, focused on sharing knowledge and ideas and the second mainly social, focused on networking. Each DoY Meet-Up is hosted by a community and open to anyone who feels connected to DoY, the topic or the activity.
