The intention with the mentorship program is to match people for mutual benefit which go beyond one-way advice. We consider mentoring as a (confidential) partnership based on dialogue, mutual trust and joint learning. Yet, it is mentee-driven in the sense that it centers on the issues and needs facing the mentee.

Mentoring should be distinguished from other forms of collegiality and forms of dialogue and advice, such as PhD supervision or the collegial discussions between senior and junior colleagues within specific research environments. Mentoring is also thought of as a deeper relationship than to only provide ad hoc help or the usual feedback at research seminars, workshops and conferences.
