Mentoring and Training
Draw from the experience of successful female researchers and become a mentee in the Mentoring and Training program. Thanks to the cooperation with the Conference of Equal Opportunities Officers at universities and academic institutions in Baden-Württemberg (Landeskonferenz für Gleichstellungsbeauftragte an den Hochschulen Baden-Württembergs, LaKoG), female researchers of the University of Mannheim have the opportunity to participate in this program.
The long-term mentoring relationship is complemented by an annual program: Take a look into the black box of appointment procedures and enhance your performance in the scientific community.
Benefit from this support on your way to the top.
