Taking all your feedback, we’re already thinking about all the upcoming events.

Thanks again for being part of the conversation.

Looking forward to continuing it!

And huge thanks to all mentors and mentees who joined the Speed Mentoring!

It was a safe, trustworthy space for connection around navigating the research path, and we all highlighted the value of different perspectives and intergenerational exchange.

Cheers to all the openness and generosity!

We discussed about creating inclusive and safe academic spaces across the 25 years of WiCS+ and the work still ahead.

Judy Kroll and @nurasidarus.bsky.social revisited our origins and evolution, and together with @martarivz.bsky.social reflected on structural challenges and collective action

- The information shared during the session is to be kept completely confidential.
- This session is open to scientists of all gender identities, and both mentors and mentees from past sessions have found it highly valuablw

Please note a few ground rules:

- This is a one-time session (the mentor is not committing to a longer-term mentoring relationship).
- The mentee prepares 1 or 2 specific questions to guide the session and make the most of it, and sends their CV and questions to the mentor ahead of time.

The speed mentoring session offers junior researchers the opportunity to connect with senior faculty to discuss various aspects of research and academic careers.

The goal is to foster in-depth discussions while also encouraging connections with individuals from diverse roles and backgrounds.
