The Meet-the-Mentor Session is an initiative organized by the VPHi student committee to enhance the learning experience for PhD students. The event offers trainees a special opportunity to network with senior members of the community and receive career advice and insights.
The mentor panel is composed by both academic and industry representatives from different fields. A full list of the mentors is available below. Each mentor will have a dedicated virtual meeting room at a specific schedule during the VPH2020 conference and will meet a maximum of 6 students.
Interested trainees should sign up to it by sending an email to manager@vph-institute.org. Registrants are requested to submit their mentor choices (minimum of 2 mentor options) and places will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis. Once the registration process will be closed, a schedule of the event will be made available to all registrants.
