Navigating Conflict in Higher Education - a Collaborative Workshop at SNSF
On 21 November 2025, we joined forces with the SNSF Leadership Programme for an interactive workshop in Bern, exploring practical strategies and research insights to better understand and manage conflict in academic environments.
Several key takeaways from the event led by Alex Efthymiades:
- Shift your conflict mindset
- Build self-awareness
- Exit the blame cycle
- Recognize unmet needs
- Embrace differences of opinion
The event held at the Swiss National Science Foundation was a great chance to learn, share insights, reconnect with many H.I.T. Program Alumnae and celebrate the excellent collaboration with Dr. Jasmine Lorenzini, Head of the EDI office, SNSF.
