The aim of this ISH Capacity Building Network (CBN) webinar is to provide early and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) with practical strategies for getting the most out of mentorship.
The webinar will cover effective techniques for identifying suitable mentors, making contact with mentors, some of the complexities around power dynamics, and ensuring productive mentor-mentee relationships over time. The session will incorporate perspectives on mentorship from different countries and contexts, and you will have the chance to hear directly from experienced mentors.
