At IGDORE, we are committed to improving the mental health and working conditions of researchers. Work-related stress and psychological distress are growing challenges in academia, often leading to burnout and decreased well-being. That’s why we are proud to be part of ReACT (Researchers' Act: Training for Psychological Flexibility and Work-Related Stress Management)– a three-year Erasmus project aimed at developing a self-help program for researchers based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
📷What is ReACT about?📷
📷Creating an interactive, multilingual, web-based self-help platform.
📷Evaluating the program’s effectiveness in reducing work-related stress.
📷Hosting awareness-raising events to engage the research community.
📷Developing policy recommendations to promote lasting structural change.
📷Why is this important?📷
📷Mental health support is essential for a thriving research community. By providing researchers with tools to manage stress and enhance resilience, we aim to foster a healthier, more sustainable academic environment.
As a partner in Researchers ACT (sweden.igdore.org/react/), IGDORE is excited to contribute to this vital initiative. Stay tuned for updates on our progress!

People usually think replication attempts in science are rare. Journals don't publish replications, so scientists don't do them.
In reality there are countless replication attempts (and failures), it's just PhD students assume they did something wrong

That extra hour spent on software lessons, that extra effort put into brainstorming, that extra attempt to debug makes all the difference. We hope you put in that extra!
Happy November from all of us at Open Science Labs (OSL).
