Finding your way in academia can be confusing, overwhelming, and
intimidating. How do you choose the right conference? The right
journal? The right research project? And who can you ask for advice?

ESN can help with the ESN Mentorship Programme.

The ESN Mentorship Programme matches emerging scholars with mentors
from IAMCR in order to:
• Provide mentees with advice, guidance, and assistance at IAMCR and
in their work
• Develop research, publications, and participation in IAMCR and other
academic communities
• Exchange ideas, perspectives, and research
• Meet informally at conferences and communicate periodically during the 
year

Mentoring is a great way to help out emerging scholars and to continue
the international connections so valuable to IAMCR and to our academic
community.

For Mentors
Do you have 30 minutes to spare at IAMCR conferences? Could you
respond to a handful of emails throughout the year?

The inspiration of ESN founding member Katharine Sarikakis, the
mentorship program aims to connect emerging scholars with senior
scholar mentors for guidance and assistance. As mentors, established
scholars meet with a mentee at conferences and are available for basic
feedback and advice via email throughout the year.
