Regular training sessions and workshops on various career development topics complete the programme.
Target group: advanced female doctoral researchers who want to plan their career after the doctorate.
Programme duration: 18 months; for successful participation in the mentoring programme, you will receive a certificate from the Gender Equality Academy.
Programme Elements
Mentoring:
In the matching phase (first four months of the programme), the programme management supports you in finding a suitable mentor.
The mentoring phase extends over 14 months, during which you have the opportunity to benefit from your mentor's experience and work on your own objectives.
Networking:
Regular meetings organised by the programme management with keynote speeches serve your networking across the disciplines. At additional self-organised peer group meetings, you can exchange information about the specific requirements of your career phase.
Qualification:
Workshops on career-relevant topics and competencies serve to provide you with additional qualifications for a career both within and outside academia.
All trainings are conducted by external trainers for your group.
Career guidance:
You will be invited to an initial personal interview before the kick-off event, in which the individual starting point as well as the goals for the programme period will be recorded.
The mid-term review also takes place in a personal meeting with the programme coordinators.
The kick-off and closing events also provide impulses for the participants' own goal-setting work and offer an introduction to a strong network.
