PhD Association

Well-being team

If there is a common point for early career researchers, it is that it is a stressful and challenging time of your life and career. While part of the work we do can be intense, there are many ways in which we can together alleviate the stressing parts. We believe that awareness is key in preventing stress.  

Therefore, we (co-)organize events around the topics of stress and well-being. You can also find resources HERE. We represent Early Career Researchers (ECRs) in discussion with DTU bodies (HR, PhD schools etc.) and give advice about well-being and how to make the PhD program less stressful.  

Further, we organize the CreaClubs, creative events to get you out of your routine and give you a space to evade for a couple of hours. It is also a great opportunity to meet fellow ECR with similar hobbies and have a piece of cake. 

As of 2026, the well-being team consists of: 

  • Isabella Maranca 
  • Joana Mourão
