Global Talent Mentoring hosted its International Expert Meeting (IEM) in Regensburg, Germany, from 13 to 15 September 2019. The theme of the IEM was “Online Mentoring for STEM Talent Development,” and the goal was to learn from a group of international experts by jointly exploring several important topics, such as online mentoring and communication, mentor and mentee training, mentoring for the gifted, etc. Mentoring experts from Europe and the United States gathered in the UNESCO-World Heritage city of Regensburg for three days to share their knowledge and research findings on mentoring with the Global Talent Mentoring team, led by Prof. Dr. Heidrun Stoeger. Social activities in the evening included a Danube River cruise and a walking tour of the historical town.
