Polonium Mentoring 2023-2024
Having learned from the previous year, we are happy to bring to you the next edition of Polonium Mentoring.
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.
This edition of the programme is global and we welcome every scientific discipline to join this year. We especially welcome participants from social and political sciences that constituted the lowest percentage of attendees in the pilot edition.
You can be a Mentor and a Mentee in the same time!
