Judy Veldhuijzen will introduce the Social Sciences and Humanities Sector Plan theme ‘Mental Health Disorders’ . This research theme focuses on deepening scientific knowledge about the mechanisms underlying changes in mental health. This research is crucial for identifying mental health problems earlier, understanding them better, and treating them more effectively. Researchers from different faculties that are working on this theme will pitch their research.

What is Food for Thought?
During Food for Thought lunch meetings, researchers and interested colleagues can meet in an informal setting.
Two (or more) speakers from different institutes present their work in relation to a specific topic that is connected to the overarching FSW themes:
- AI for humans, society and science;
- Generation of the future;
- Health and well-being;
- Social transitions;
- Sustainability and biodiversity.
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 10 May.
