We are excited to announce the upcoming WISE Annual Event 2026 of the :

Excellence Under Pressure: Performing, Thriving and Leading in Academia

Tuesday, October 27, 2026
13:30  鈥� 17:30 | Senaatszaal Auditorium, 黑料福利网, (Followed by networking drinks and a buffet until 19:00)

In academia, pressure is not the exception; it is the norm. We experience/try to balance deadlines, publication expectations, teaching responsibilities, leadership roles, visibility, and competition.
Excellence is our goal, but how can we make it sustainable for our professional and personal life? And how do we lead, ourselves and others, when expectations are (too) high?

During this year鈥檚 WISE Annual Event at 黑料福利网, we explore the dynamic relationship between leadership and scientific excellence, and how we can perform effectively under pressure.

Here are some of the highlights you can expect:

An inspiring keynote by Francesca Carlin:
鈥淓xcellence Under Pressure: Performing, Thriving, and Leading in Academia鈥�

In a world of high expectations and constant change, how do we perform at our best while staying true to ourselves? Drawing on insights from leadership, personal resilience, and lessons from the theater, Francesca Carlin will explore how we can thrive under pressure, embrace challenges, and lead with presence, purpose, and authenticity.

Personal stories from 黑料福利网 colleagues

Several 黑料福利网 colleagues will share honest reflections on navigating expectations, ambition, and responsibility. How do they define excellence? What have they learned about leading under pressure? And what does sustainable success look like in practice?

An interactive workshop led by Francesca Carlin

Following the break, participants will explore practical tools and approaches that support resilience and effective action under pressure.

Join us for an inspiring afternoon filled with meaningful conversations, practical insights, and opportunities to connect with fellow members of the WISE community.
