DION invites all temporary scientific employees at NTNU to an event focused on mental health

When: October 16th, 16:00

Where: Sosiologisk Poliklinikk (Brattørgt 8, Trondheim)

As a temporary scientific employee, you might encounter many challenges related to work. We have invited the Occupational Health Services at NTNU as well as The Young Academy of Norway to talk about the challenges one might face as a temporary scientific employee and who can lend a helping hand.

DION will also talk about findings from the recently conducted survey Onboarding experience at NTNU, e.g. how long does it take for new temporary employees to settle in, where do they get the most support from, and what kinds of guidance are offered to new temporary employees.

After the presentations, there will be a panel discussion and questions from the audience.

There will be PIZZA and the event will be streamed via Skype to DION Gjøvik.

Due to capacity, we would like to know how many people plan to attend the event. Please register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd0ic_ikwOJAwsT_VJ7Q_ZQ2QpAzz_BM8qhuxIrUL3R0UZ3EA/viewform?usp=pp_url

Join us for the traditional Norwegian Sunday hike in Estenstadmarka!

When: 21 October 2018, 12:00-16:00

Where: Estenstadmarka

Please register through this (non-binding!) form by Friday 19th, so we can get an idea of who is joining and age groups.

This is a great opportunity for you as a PhD, postdoc or temporary scientific employee to meet your colleagues across NTNU, and for your offspring have a fun day out! As a family-friendly event, the walk will be suitable for kids and accessible with a stroller.

If the weather allows it, we will have lunch outside, make a bonfire by Estensstaddammen and some activities for the kids. A bit of rain or a cloudy day has never stopped a true Norwegian Sunday hike –but then we will hike to Estenstadhytta. Where lunch can be bought and eaten inside. Further information will be provided when we are getting close enough to trust the weather forecast, Friday 19th.

Regardless og the two options, we will meet at Bekken Parkering at 12. If you arrive by bus, you can walk from Loholtbakken Busstopp.

The hike is short, only about 1 km one way, and another 1,4 km if you are coming by bus.

Remember enough clothes and comfortable shoes!

Join us for this social event after working hours 🙂 DION invites PhDs, Postdocs and other temporary scientific employees to join the Happy Hour with shuffleboard (sponsored by us) at Work-Work! Grab some food and drink or just enjoy the social atmosphere and a game of shuffle board. If you have not tried out shuffle board yet, this is the perfect opportunity to give it a try. It is super easy and reminds of a table version of curling – so give it a go and join us!
