Mentoring early career researchers

Mentoring can facilitate the professional development of both early career researchers and university staff. It can also become a useful instrument in the toolbox of equality, diversity and inclusion policies.

Although mentoring can take place organically, concrete action may be needed to support it and foster a culture of mentoring in academia.

This session reviews some of the challenges and solutions found by universities to develop and make good use of this practice.
