How does it work?
- This online coaching programme takes place over 12 months

- Each month, a two hour online meeting (or two, one hour online meetings) at any time agreed by the participants will focus on professional achievements/challenges and/or updates on research projects. In addition, the mentee can contact the mentor via email, if needed.
