What better way to start the new year than with destressing? Chronic stress and burnout are an increasing problem among students. The DESTRESS study investigates this issue and offers resilience training, free of charge, with a duration of 8 weeks.

Who is the prettiest of them all? It was a close call! But, this tree was the winner in the NIHES Christmas event for students and teachers. What a stunner it is, reflecting the essence of NIHES. We enjoyed a nice presentation and had a good laugh when we did the Jerusalema challenge, all the while trying to show off our best moves simultaneously in Zoom.
