Mentoring is often recognized as the cornerstone of professional growth. But how do you build effective and sustainable mentoring relationships when no one teaches how?
Join SNRN/ISEE leaders for an honest conversation about mentoring in environmental health research: what works, what doesn’t, and what often goes unsaid across different career stages and cultural contexts. Let’s discuss how to align mentor-mentee expectations or feedback, communicate effectively, navigate conflict, and identify resources to build a mentoring network.
Panelists:
Ms. Kiya Kedir Abagero, Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI), Ethiopia
Dr. Jiawei Zhang, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Dr. Kenza Khomsi, Mohammed VI University of Sciences and Health (UM6SS), Morocco
