What?
As part of our Scientific Excellence & Well-Being initiative, we are organizing an excursion into both the snowy outdoors and our brain’s insides.
We will spend 30h in the snow at 2000m above sea level. We will experience the strength and calmness of nature in Winter, learn to to set up a snow camp and build an igloo.
In addition to giving you an active break, the reduction to the essential will give you new perspectives. You will learn to focus on your inside, connect with your body and you will be given time for self-reflection.
When and where?
We meet on Saturday (07.03.20) morning and hike through the snow covered winter landscape to our camp location (TBA). This day we focus on getting to know each other, construction of our snow camp (e.g. caves with igloo like roofs), cooking dinner and spending a cozy evening in the group camp. On Sunday after breakfast, we do some playful group activities, reflect, pack and rejoin civilisation.

What?
As part of our Scientific Excellence & Well-Being initiative, we are excited to announce this talk:
Title: The Power of Habits
Speaker: Radek Daněček
When we watch an inspiring talk or attend a workshop and learn about new techniques to improve our productivity and well-being, we frequently find ourselves unable to bring these ideas into our every-day life. In this talk, we will hear about why it is so important to actively form habits and how we can ensure that our new resolutions last more than a few days or weeks.
Radek is a first year PhD student at Computer Graphics Lab. Apart from his research, he’s also obsessed by personal development. He believes that our success, happiness and productivity levels are highly influenced by our habits (both good and bad) and the discipline and consistency we stick to them.
After the talk, we invite you to join us for a small apero.
