Events

LAP webinar Women as Leaders
April 20th, from 12.45 – 14.00
The position of women in academia is evolving. We obviously know that it has improved a lot when compared to the 50’s but how well are we doing nowadays? Are men and women equally represented when it comes to high positions? What does the life of a woman pursuing a career in academia look like? How does gender influence work related communication? How can you as a woman strengthen your leadership skills?

Do you want to find out the answers to these questions? And want to learn from successful women? Join our ‘Women as leaders’ webinar on the 20th of April! It may seem as a woman only event but of course all PhDs are welcome to join!

Workshop “Fail Well”: Fear of Failure and how to cope with it (By LEO)
April 7th 2021 from 5:30pm until 8pm
Making mistakes and experiencing failure is surely nothing new to us. Many negative feelings and reactions are linked to failure: we are disappointed, feel small and insufficient, get angry, draw back and lose motivation. In this workshop, we’ll learn to accept failure as a necessity to learn and grow. And of course, to succeed more and faster.
