Outcome of the 3 SWOT Analyses held by the ReMO COST Action between 24th November and 2nd December 2020

<p>These documents are the result of a series of three online workshops held by the Researcher Mental Health (ReMO) COST Action that focussed on the specific impact priorities of each of ReMO&#39;s three Working Groups:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Working Group 1: System level - the ERA working environment</p> </li> <li> <p>Working Group 2: Institutional level - Wellbeing Practices in Research Institutions</p> </li> <li> <p>Working Group 3: Local actors - Promoting researcher well-being on a practical level&nbsp;</p> </li> </ul> <p>These 90 minutes long workshops developed SWOT analyses through engaging the ReMO community. In these workshops the following procedure was executed:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Working groups were provided with empty SWOT matrices.&nbsp;</p> </li> <li> <p>Participants were randomly assigned to small parallel discussion groups. In four discussion rounds (one for each topic: Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, each of them 15 mins long) participants populated their matrix.&nbsp;</p> </li> <li> <p>Subsequently, through a plenary discussion the ideas recorded in the matrix were discussed, duplications and similar items were merged.&nbsp;</p> </li> <li> <p>As a result, the three SWOT matrices for the three working groups were finalized and synthesized to a project level SWOT matrix.</p> </li> </ul> <p>The process aimed to distill a number of key themes and actions, which are critical for developing a model of doctoral education and more general research culture embracing researcher mental health as a key priority. This process led to the publication of the <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/5559806">Researcher Mental Health and Well-being Manifesto</a>.</p> <p>The audience&rsquo;s responses were anonymous, and they were recorded in a padlet, whose contents are available here.</p>
