  1. Dedicated time to discussing and developing your research ideas
  2. One-on-one coaching session on career development from a senior academic
  3. Workshops and seminars dedicated to developing a successful research trajectory

The yearlong EECC mentoring
Every attendee will embark on a yearlong EECC mentoring scheme - it's a supportive community dedicated to your growth and success. After the meeting in March, we have envisaged 2-3 online coaching sessions with a mentor whose area of expertise will match your own research field. These sessions will go beyond paper feedback, offering valuable advice on cultivating a successful research career.

Our unique mentorship programme will cover a spectrum of topics, including achieving a healthy work-life balance, building a robust research network, and mastering the art of managing a portfolio of articles. You'll also have access to a dedicated LinkedIn page for the community and will be invited to a culminating event at the EURAM 2024 Conference, where you can further expand your network and engage in enriching discussions.
