Outline
The ECMTB mentoring scheme aims to improve the educational and professional experience of scientists at the conference by introducing junior and senior scientists with similar research interests. The mentor can help mentees in many different ways: by discussing research, career paths, research in different countries or industries, introducing them to other researchers in the area or simply by buying them a beer.How does it work?
Anyone attending ECMTB 2011 can join the scheme via the conference registration form or by contacting the coordinator (see below). You can be a mentor, mentee or both. Mentees are generally junior scientists and include students, postdoctoral fellows, research assistants, and junior faculty. Mentors are generally senior scientists and include postdocs, lecturers and faculty members, but the definitions are flexible. Mentors and mentees are introduced before the conference via email and they arrange to meet during the conference, for instance during the coffee breaks. There will be a designated mentor meeting place at the conference site and a social trip during the conference.How do I sign up?
