Conflict is a part of any relationship. And is more frequent when, like in academia, stress is high and resources scarce. How we navigate conflict is what matters most. In this webinar we explore how to recognise key triggers for conflict in academic and supervisory relationships. We will learn to recognise our working style and our working needs (and those of our colleagues or students). Also, we will develop practical tools to approach important discussions and navigate potential clashes, learning to uncover the real issues underpinning the conflict and the role that context plays. The webinars are provided by Dickerson et al.

On October 28th, 2024, Arctic Optica will host two of the 2022 Optica Ambassadors. Optica Ambassadors, selected by Optica each year, serve as global representatives of the organization, advancing the field of optics and photonics. As early-career professionals, they are dedicated to science outreach, education, and leadership within their communities. Their mission includes mentoring students, organizing local events, and raising awareness about the importance of optics and photonics in shaping society. They also focus on inspiring the next generation of scientists, with an emphasis on diversity and inclusion in the field. Available physically in Tromsø and online.
