In the autumn semester of 2020, DION has collaborated with SiN and other fellow organizations across Norway and ran a short survey regarding the extraordinary difficulties provoked by COVID-19 that PhDs, Postdocs and temporary staff had to deal with. On this backdrop, the objective was to assess how the universities responded to this situation and in particular, the contract extensions. You can read the findings of the survey here.

Vision Engineering workshop and dinner in Kalvskinnet (Trondheim)

Stop hustling and bustling, press pause and use the darkest time of the year to look at your visions.
You can look at your PhD or postdoc visions but also on your personal life or other visions you might want to explore.
Together we will create a room where we can listen to our innermost voice to realise where we are at and where we want to go and most importantly how we want to walk there.
How will we do that?
We will use different tools to create a clear vision, such as writing, music, meditation and drawing.
At the end of this workshop you will have more clarity, be honest to what matters really to yourself and you will have a beautiful drawing of your visions.
Join our container of curious minds to unfold into the fullness of who you are, and learn how it is all connected towards the path of your vision.
The workshop will last 90 minutes and afterwards we will have a dinner together to reflect on our personal outcomes.
This workshop is organized by Ronja Lappe and Ursula Enzenhofer and sponsored by DION within the Winter Grants 2022.
