MentorSHIP PROGRAM 2023

Program Objective

The purpose of the program is to connect an early stage researcher to another researcher who is a few years ahead. What makes this program special is that we try to ensure the small career stage difference between mentors and mentees, which we hope to make mentors more aware of contemporary issues mentees might face and encourage them to work more closely together. Thus, this program aims, not to build a one way guiding relationship, but to foster a ”friendship” that also benefits the mentor. We encourage the mentors and mentees to work closely together through online meetings and arrange in-person meetup at conferences.
