Mentoring

A mentor is someone who has experience in a given field and passes it on to their mentee. Ideally, they should work at a different institution than the one where the mentee studies or works. It is often a good idea to find an expert in a field that the mentee does not understand very well. This opens up a unique opportunity for them to gain a better understanding of a related field or other issues that could be useful to them—for example, in the commercialization of a scientific project.

The role of mentor offers you the opportunity to recognize your expertise and learn how to pass it on to less experienced students or early-career researchers (mentees).

You yourself can learn a lot from your mentee.

Mentoring is highly flexible; we take your busy schedules into account and arrange the concept of meetings with mentees in a way so that you can control the timing, format, and frequency of the meetings yourself.

As part of mentoring networking, you have the opportunity to meet like-minded people from a wide range of professional fields at joint events. Would you like to learn more about the program? Please contact Zuzana Jalovcová, the program coordinator, directly.
