Participation in SRS 2025 - Kiruna

It is well known that the buildings where we spend our lives affect us. It has been shown in the past that they can even affect our stress levels.

This relationship between our built environment and our stress becomes even more important in a range of safety-critical environments, where high stress levels can even affect staff judgement and job performance. In addition, humans have reached and continue to reach places we have never been before.

In particular, humanity aims to undertake long missions to nearby stars in the near future, and later to establish habitats on the Moon and Mars.This project aims to better understand which parts of our built environment are related to stress, perceived stress and the time it takes to recover from stress.

In addition, we want to understand how the space we live in can affect our mental functioning during periods of stress.This application aims to have travel costs covered to attend and present at the SRS annual meeting in Kiruna.
