This event brings together the real-life experiences of students with the evidence-based insights of well-being researchers for an open conversation about the highs and lows of student life. Panelists will explore themes such as academic pressure, mental health, and the small things that make a big difference.

The panel features three students from diverse backgrounds and fields of study, alongside three researchers from University of Vienna and University of Oslo who will reflect on the stories shared, and offer practical insights based on their work in student wellbeing, with tips and tools for managing stress, finding support, and thriving.

  • Ragnhild Bang Nes, Associate Professor at the University of Oslo, and Senior Researcher at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health
  • Kristian Green Krogshus, Lecturer at the Department of Community Medicine and Global Health, ongoing PhD on Five Ways to Wellbeing at School, and Municipal Medical Officer at the city of Moss
