During the workshop we will focus on the decision-making process around disclosing needs related to (chronic) mental or physical health conditions, disabilities or neurodivergence during the PhD.
A needs accommodation is an adjustment or support provided to help individuals perform their work effectively. It may include modifications to the environment, flexible scheduling, or specialized resources, depending on individual needs.
Participants will engage in discussions on the reasons for (not) disclosing accommodation needs and will have the opportunity to test a decision aid designed to support this process.
The event offers an opportunity to discuss relevant issues with peers who have similar experiences, mix and mingle over drinks, and learn more about the UnliMited network’s role in advocating for staff with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and neurodivergence at Maastricht University.

Who are we?
This will be the first event of the new PhD-group under the UnliMited-Staff network! Doing a PhD with a disability, (chronic) mental or physical health condition, chronic illness, or neurodivergence can be especially challenging, and we aim to build a supportive community that brings PhD-candidates with similar experiences together and make our voices heard.
Looking forward to meeting you there!
