Mentor4Research is open to PhD students and researchers from all fields. The interest in getting one of the programme's 20 places is growing, as is the subject breadth of the participants. This year's programme involves researchers from departments such as ALM (Archives – Libraries – Museums), psychology, chemistry, organismal biology, immunology, genetics and pathology as well as public health and care sciences.
“This is something I myself really missed during my time as a researcher. Imagine having a mentor outside the academic world with whom you can brainstorm ideas - it is a great opportunity for new perspectives”, says Hillevi Englund at UU Innovation who, together with colleague Nhils Forslund, will lead next year's mentoring programme open for application until 15 October 2020.
