RSI prevention
Be aware of your potential physical burnout.
CANS/RSI is a topic that has been discussed in WUR for a long time. S&I not only cares about the student's mental health but also physical well-being.
In Student Council, you can find a project which focuses on RSI prevention, such as asking the university to provide RSI prevention products with a discount. Meanwhile, we are also urging the university to provide more standing tables and more working/studying equipment for all types of students.
