We are very happy to offer a new series of Resilient Minds meetings in collaboration with the LIR and intresa.

Resilient Minds is a journal club style initative that aims to bring together (early career) researchers across disciplines to stimulate discussions about resilience. We offer an informal space for exchange where speakers present not only their research work, but also tell us a bit about their journey in academia. Presentations not only cover polished and published findings, but also ideas, methods, and any resilience research-related questions.

Our meetings take place monthly, usually on the 1st Thursday at 4 pm CE(S)T via Zoom.

Founded by Maximilian König and Laura Meine. Current organizers: Laura Meine, Ella McPherson, Renée Lipka, Anjana Madhavan Christine Leonards, India Sawyer. Get in touch with us at: ask.resilient.minds@gmail.com
