EARLY CAREER COLLOQUIUM
We are happy to announce the first PSAAG workshop Early Career Colloquium!
This presents an excellent opportunity for young scholars to showcase and engage in discussions with academics in their fields.
PhD students at any phase of their PhD journey, and early career researchers within three years of completing their PhD are welcome. We strongly encourage first-year PhD students to participate, even if they wish to present their research plans or work in progress. It does not have to be exclusively related to risk and uncertainty but can range over topics such as public service management, accounting and accountability.
COLLOQUIUM PROGRAM

9.15 – 10.15 Kick-off speech
Trajectories of resilience in young researchers' careers by Chiara Ruini, Clinical Psychologist at the University of Bologna
Content: Stemming from the psychology of well-being research, the contribution will describe the role of positive emotions, self-determination and personal realization in buffering the stress of early career stages in academic domains. These contexts are characterized by high levels of competition, internal and external pressures to publish and uncertainty about the future. Current research in psychological resilience has documented that these challenges can be overcome by promoting adaptive coping strategies, such as a strong sense of purpose in life and a flexible cognitive style. The presentation will illustrate some of these approaches to promote the resilience of young researchers.
10.15 – 10.30 Coffee break
