Resilience through uncertainty tolerance
Our society is undergoing rapid change due to events such as the COVID-19 crisis, climate change, and recent wars. Such changes lead to uncertainty, which affects our daily lives and well-being. The project that we will present is a collaboration between experts in the fields of psychology, education, and neuroscience, as well as teachers and young people. In the project we aim to understand what uncertainty tolerance is and how it can be measured, and at the same time to explore the impact of uncertainty on vulnerable groups, such as young people who are financially vulnerable. Our goal is to help young people in Leiden to cope better with uncertainty and become more resilient.

Access to palliative care in Leiden
Good end-of-life care is crucial to the well-being of all citizens in a healthy city. How can we ensure that all Leiden residents have access to quality care in the final stage of life? In this project, we have organized a roundtable discussion for health professionals, social work professionals, and researchers on the topic of palliative care hosted by BuZz Leiden. We discussed how we could improve access to and information about palliative care, precisely for those residents who have difficulty accessing health services. In collaboration with our societal partners, we are preparing an infographic brochure on access to palliative care in Leiden.
What is Food for Thought?
During Food for Thought lunch meetings, researchers and interested colleagues can meet in an informal setting.
Two speakers from different institutes present their work in relation to a specific topic that is connected to the overarching FSW themes:
• Health and wellbeing in a healthy society;
• Societal transitions, inequality and diversity.
With this interdisciplinary approach you get to know varying standpoints and methods, gain new perspectives and broaden your network. You can apply to this event until the 24th of February.
