Academic Wellbeing Symposium
June 2009

This symposium provided an opportunity for staff and students to share ideas, initiatives, research and good practices in the area of wellbeing in Higher Education. The day concluded with a roundtable discussion to consider how we can continue to develop wellbeing at the University of Brighton. We were delighted to welcome back Cristina Poyatos-Matas from Griffith University, Australia to the symposium. Cristina presented her work on innovative approaches to enhancing the learning experiences of research students through developing life balancing skills at last year’s Learning and Teaching Conference.  

She contributed to a morning workshop on Academic Wellbeing and the research student aimed at supervisors, research students and other interested colleagues on Tuesday 16th June and also a day-long workshop on Academic Life Balancing Skills on Wednesday 17th June for our research students.
