ECTS Academy Mentoring Options

The ECTS Academy offers different formats of mentoring for New Investigators, including undergraduates, PhD students and early stage post-docs.

Mentoring Session @ ECTS Conference

The Mentoring Session is an integral part of the annual ECTS conference. This is an interactive session giving the New Investigators an opportunity to discuss various topics with the leaders in the field: Interactive, round table discussion (3×20 min).

Mentoring Chat

If you couldn’t attend the conference or if you seek for more discussion and advice check out our Mentoring Chat. Informal discussions of specific topics with members of the ECTS Academy are organized three times a year as videoconferences. Please find below more information on the topic and registration procedure for the next event. This is also a great opportunity to meet potential mentors for the participation in the Mentoring Scheme.

Next Mentoring Chat

Topic: What Color Is Your Parachute? A session on career coaching.
Description: A job is a place where you spend more daytime than with your family and friends. To make sure you spend this time doing something you love and that makes you happy, you need to do a little bit of research. Not the research that you are used to but a search of your own talents, what gives you energy, what takes away your energy etc. There is a very big world available outside the universities and

I will share with you my own story and some practical tips and tricks to get you started. Career coaching is something that you can get help with but also something that starts and ends with you so you can do a lot on your own. Additionally, I will share some useful questions that you can use in interviews to get the information you need (and not only what they have prepared to share with you) but also some tricks in getting your story to the interviewer in the way that you want to present yourself..

Hosts: Inge Neels, www.pono.be
Time & Date: 8/03/23, 4pm CET
Registration: For registration click here. Login details will be provided upon registration.
Questions: We invite you to ask any questions that you already have on your mind before the meeting so that we can try to give due attention to the aspects you are most interested in.
