Networks are an ancient concept of helping yourself! Taking about yourself and your career aspirations; looking for professional circles and associations; looking for like-minded people. You only go further if you are in a network.
Day two will introduce you to the concept of mentoring to learn how mentoring works and how effective mentoring can be for your personal career.
This course is designed for young scientists at the end of their PhD. It is developed to support participants in finding out about the potential of networking and the benefit of mentoring.
The training is conducted for 7 hours with one hour break. It mixes short theory lectures with discussions and individual and small-group exercises.
