About the event
Research doesn’t have to be a solo journey. In this session, we will introduce you to Mentor Mates, our DREAM+PLAN Peer Mentoring model, which emphasizes reciprocal learning and mutual support. We will explore the power of peer mentoring—where researchers at the same stage support each other, share insights, and grow together. The objective is to provide you with an understanding how peer mentoring works in practice and equip you with some best practices and tips. You will discover how peer mentoring builds resilience, boosts productivity, and creates a collaborative research environment. Together, we will set the stage for your peer mentoring journey and prepare you to thrive as part of a team.
