Mentee peer-group

Centrally organized workshop/events

*The Mentee-Mentor TANDEM

A Tandem is defined as an independent and confidential professional alliance free of hierarchy between an early-stage imaging scientist (Mentee) and the more experienced person (Mentor). This alliance forms a one-to-one partnership with a specific mandate (e.g. define aims and decision-making processes, develop a career strategy, set up a research group, transfer faculty-specific knowledge and skills).

The Mentee receives primarily:

  • Feedback on career planning in line with the plans for her/his life
  • Individual support and inspiration with respect to the strategic development and effective realization of her/his scientific career
  • Knowledge, contacts, and formal as well as informal rules of the game with respect to working in science
  • Support with the contemplation of personal skills/competencies and strengths
