Mentorship program

The workshop will also offer a mentorship program which will take place during our coffee breaks and lunch, along with casual discussions. This time will serve as an opportunity to conduct research discussions, engage in informal conversations, and introduce a new round tables mentoring initiative for junior and senior researchers. Participants can sign up through this form, and we will actively reach out to senior researchers in the community to serve as mentors.
