This interactive seminar introduces mindfulness as a personal practice to sustaining attention, emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility in demanding academic environments. Participants will explore the scientific foundations of mindfulness, including evidence on stress reduction, concentration, creativity and well-being. In addition, participants will engage in guided, hands-on practices that can be directly integrated into daily (research) routines.

This course is designed for early-career researchers, academics at any stage and staff who wish to incorporate more mindfulness into their daily life. Note that priority will be given to PhD students.

Instructor: Dr. Veronica Caggìa, Plant Biologist and Mindfulness coach (Veranaturae)
