Polonium Mentoring 2024-2025

Bigger, broader, bolder - the 2024-2025 iteration of Polonium Mentoring is about to start - join in!

Who can participate?

To become a Mentor you should be at the doctoral student level or above (especially for pairing in the academic path). Highly experienced and impactful Mentors will be considered regardless of educational status. We are recruiting Mentors from different backgrounds - academia, industry, or business.

You can become a Mentee at all stages of your career.

The programme is global and we welcome every scientific discipline to join. We especially encourage participants from social and political sciences that constituted the lowest percentage of attendees in the previous years.

You can be a Mentor and a Mentee in the same time!
