Mentoring at ResearchRound

Research Mentors support 1-2 participants to gain practical research skills by guiding them on a research area over a program-defined period.

ResearchRound shares mentoring guide

Mentors engage fortnightly or monthly with selected participants based on agreed meeting periods.

Mentors do not need to complete a research project during the program duration. Research projects may be at the beginning, middle or end stage. What counts is getting the participant acquainted with global standards of research processes and the engagement would have been deemed successful. Participants must also be able to make a meaningful presentation on the research project at the end of the program.

ResearchRound delivers on promised benefits, if applicable.
