Igniting the Future: Welcoming Our Fourth Cohort of STEMM Innovators
|
|
|
On 29 April 2024, Global Talent Mentoring proudly welcomed its fourth cohort of mentees and mentors. As in previous years, we received applications from highly talented STEMM students worldwide, all of whom are eager to further their expertise and experience by working with leading experts. Global Talent Mentoring carefully reviewed each application to ensure an optimal match between mentees and the talent-development services Global Talent Mentoring offers.
|
Selected mentees are matched with mentors who specialize in their respective fields, marking the start of their exciting mentoring journeys. Our newest cohort’s specializations span a wide range of STEMM fields, from acoustical oceanography and metabolomics to cosmology and genetic engineering. This year, we are also thrilled to welcome exceptional students for the first time from Japan and Colombia. Our expansion to Japan and Colombia was made possible thanks to new collaborations with leading institutions in both countries.
|
Since April 2021, Global Talent Mentoring has included participants from nearly 50 countries. Guided by our scientific directors and enriched by previous mentoring cycles, we are committed to offering unparalleled support as our mentees and mentors strive for excellence.
