One-to-one mentoring is based on a relationship between a more experienced person (academic or non-academic environment) who, as a mentor, advises and supports a less experienced person as a mentee in their career development.
Our mentors and mentees get to know each other during a kick-off meeting. During or after this meeting, mentee and mentor fill out a mentoring agreement in which the expectations, goals, frequency and location of the meetings are recorded.
The mentoring relationship formally lasts one or two years. After one year, an active, mutual extension is required for the relationship to continue. Shortly before the end of the mentoring relationship, the mentor and the mentee are sent a short questionnaire to evaluate the relationship and the program.
