Acknowledging the significant mental health issues faced by postgraduate students and the isolated rollercoaster ride of the PhD journey, our conference will not only provide the space to shine in a safe academic forum but will focus on the wellbeing of all those attending.

We want to offer an opportunity to come together as a PhD community to take care of our physical, emotional and academic wellbeing. Making connections and reminding ourselves of ways to take care of ourselves is the philosophy of this conference. We are focussed on delivering an event which has the student and their mental and physical health at its heart.

"First of all, the room was literally full and some people were even standing in the back – just to listen my talk. It felt incredible! The questions I got after my talk were also very enthusiastic, engaging, and curious, showing a strong interest in the topic itself, not just on the research process. If you have never presented before, this is a wonderful opportunity to present your work in a friendly environment to an audience who is strongly familiar with your struggles as fellow postgraduate researchers."
Nihan Albayrak-Aydemir
PhD Student at London School of Economics
“PsyPAG isn’t like other conferences – the camaraderie is infectious. These students are enjoying the experience of academia, being open and honest about the real struggle of PhD life, admitting mistakes and missed targets and deadlines to a room of knowing laughs, and taking failure on the chin."
Ella Rhodes
Journalist, The Psychologist Magazine
