ThursdayThe Psychology of Selves: Beyond Imposter Syndrome
This workshop is part of the IRENE Workshop Series "Surviving to Thriving in Academia". Many people are torn - afraid to speak up, be seen, or minimise their achievements and at the same time, are frustrated that they are getting in their own way. Feeling like you will be exposed to not know enough and being your own worst critic is a toxic combination. It can result in procrastination, individualism, and ruminating thoughts. • Learn the three layers of imposter syndrome, where these thoughts and beliefs originate from to build awareness of your behavioural pattern. • Discover your unique stress team of 'selves' and how to move beyond imposter syndrome by separating from their agendas and regaining real choice in your behaviour and actions. • Break the cycle of pre-empting, overthinking, and ruminating to catastrophe to unlock your true potential.

ThursdayGood Scientific Practice - Raising Awareness
Together with our trainer Dr. Alexandra Krämer (ImmunoSensation2 Cluster, Bonn), we will explore various aspects of Good Scientific Practice through a case study, discussing how these principles apply in real-life situations. Dr. Krämer has completed a trainer course in this field, and is excited to lead this workshop and share her insights with you. This workshop will also be a great opportunity for open discussions, where you can ask questions and clarify any uncertainties.

TuesdayMental Clarity and Decision-Making for Academics
Which project should I do next? What would be the best next move? Where should I focus my efforts? Should I look for another academic position or leave academia? Is this abstract I’ve written good enough? The path of the academic is full of decisions, and they all seem crucial. However, many of the hurdles we face in our decision-making stem from the way we think about the decisions themselves and several documented cognitive biases. In this workshop, we will work on emotional and psychological aspects of decision-making such as worry, procrastination, regret, and decision paralysis. We will also review the most common biases affecting our decision-making process as academics and practice some useful tools and strategies to reduce their impact.
