Objective

The aim of the program is to increase the number of women in professorships by contributing to career development. Furthermore, the program will contribute to network building between female researchers across NTNU and to create learning and development for mentees, mentors and NTNU as an organization.

The mentee role

As a mentee, you are an associate professor and have 2-4 years left until promotion. When applying, your motivation and justification will be emphasized.

The program will assist career development and increase knowledge of what is required to be qualified for a promotion position as a professor. Networking and exchange of experience with other mentees and mentors across NTNU is also a central part of the program.

The mentor role

As a mentor, you are a professor at NTNU and interested in contributing to development and growth both in others and yourself, and in developing an interdisciplinary network at NTNU. Both females and males can be mentors.
