Fall symposium 'Healthy Ageing, Health, and Well-Being: Perspectives from the Behavioural and Social Sciences'

Symposium theme ‘Diversity, Health and Wellbeing’

Healthy ageing, health, and well-being are central research themes at the University of Groningen. Within the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences, we host a wealth of expertise on these topics, and plenty of potential for inspiring collaborations.

This annual symposium of the Center of Expertise Social Sciences Health and Well-being (CESSHW) aims to connect researchers, PhD candidates, and (research) master students who share an interest in health and well-being from a behavioural and social sciences perspective. Together, we’ll exchange ideas, explore opportunities for joint projects and funding, and contribute to a vibrant research community within our Faculty and beyond.

Programme highlights

• A walk-in lunch (12:00–12:30) to meet and mingle.
• Keynote by Dr. Julian Rengers, who recently defended his PhD on Selective disclosure at work for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Employees’ Disclosure Decisions, Motivations, and Approaches, with the focus on Health and Well-being.
• Two sessions with the themes "Belonging and Purpose in Learning Contexts" and "Diversity, Inequality and Perceived Exclusion". These will include short presentations (10 minutes each) to showcase ongoing projects, spark discussions, and give the floor to many different voices.
