Sebastian F. Winter, M.D. Ph.D.

An invited speaker and panelist at international conferences and platforms including TEDx, I have given a variety of talks related to my research, policy, and entrepreneurial activities. 

In addition to these speaking engagements, I frequently hold workshops on mental health literacy and conflict competency in my capacity as co-funder and trainer at our non-profit organisation, R3SOLUTE.
