On 7–8 May 2026, representatives of the Study-WorkWELL project consortium met at the Pető András Faculty of Semmelweis University in Budapest for a two-day international workshop.
 
The meeting brought together colleagues from Semmelweis University, the University of Florence, the University of Konstanz, Linnaeus University, and the University of Murcia. Participants presented and discussed the preliminary findings of the qualitative interview phase, which explored the experiences of students balancing employment alongside their university studies.
 
The workshop focused on identifying common themes across countries, discussing opportunities for a shared qualitative analysis, and developing the structure of the international questionnaire that will be used in the next phase of the project. The consortium also discussed methodological issues, including questionnaire design, potential validated scales, and plans for data collection across partner institutions.
 
The Study-WorkWELL project, funded through the EUniWell Seed Funding programme, aims to better understand the relationship between student employment, well-being, and academic life across European higher education institutions.
 
We would like to thank all partners for their active participation and valuable contributions to the success of the workshop.
