First mental health and well-being event by our Chapter

Let's talk about well being !

The Optica Student Chapter was thrilled to organize to its first special event dedicated to mental health and wellbeing, tailor-made for PhD students and members of the photonics community. We recognize the unique pressures and demands of doctoral programs and aim to create a safe and open space for discussions and learning about mental health.

Dr. Ira Virtanen, Senior Specialist in Researcher Competence, joined us to provide valuable insights and strategies for maintaining wellbeing during your academic journey.
