SEB Mentoring Scheme
Mentoring is a practice that supports people to attain results that really matter to them. Mentees from our past schemes, said it has helped them with their career progression, and grant writing, and gaining fresh perspectives. For mentors, participating in the scheme helped them understand the challenges of early career researchers and enhanced their professional development.
You are invited to attend the briefing session for the 2026-2027 mentoring scheme. This session will provide key information about the scheme, enable networking with other members of SEB, and help you gain skills and knowledge to underpin effective mentoring practice.
The session will be on Thursday 8th October 2026, from 11:00am - 13:00 pm (UK Time).
On-demand: If you are unable to attend the briefing session, a video recording will be made available to you.
At the end of the session, if you wish to participate in the mentoring scheme, you will be given a form to express your interests and topic areas, which will assist us in matching you with a suitable mentor or mentee. Should you decide not to participate after the briefing session, you will have the option to opt-out.
