This is why UNESCO is conducting a worldwide study to explore the critical factors behind work exhaustion and risk of burning out in university professors. If you are a university professor, complete this survey and help UNESCO identify and create actionable strategies to prevent burnout and protect the wellbeing of professors at work. Results will be presented at the Conference and you can be a part of this important initiative. Your response will contribute to improving the lives of thousands of professors worldwide.
