On Tuesday November 18th we hosted a Mental Health seminar 2025, under the idea “Burn birght, not out!”. We were joined by representatives from HEMIS, Tromsø kummune, and unions: Forskerforbundet and Tekna, who provided us with information about the resources available for students and employees at UiT. After the seminar we continued with a discussion following the topics suggested by our members such as how to deal with student-supervisor conflicts, how to deal with life insecurities of researcher life especially regarding temporary work contracts and uncertain research funding.

All resources discussed during the seminar will be soon available on PYRO website, until then we provide you with contact information directly to our speakers below.
