Psychological Resilience of the University Community: Outcomes of the Two-Day BURN Project Webinar

On February 26–27, 2026, a large-scale two-day webinar titled “Psychological Resilience and Well-Being of the University Community” was held. The event was organized by the Centers of the BURN Project with the financial support of the European Union. It brought together specialists from the departments of psychology, development, and counseling of five Ukrainian universities to exchange experience in creating a safe and supportive environment for students and staff of higher education institutions in the context of war and (post-)war recovery.

The webinar was opened by Iryna Zadorozhna, who presented the concept of the BURN Project and introduced participants to the experience of similar psychological centers operating at leading EU universities. It was emphasized that the key objective of the initiative is to strengthen the psychological resilience of university communities and to establish a sustainable system of mental health support.
