Participation requirements
Selection criteria
Mentees are selected based on the following criteria:
Please let us know in your application if you have a special need for support due to e.g. family commitments, illnesses, social and geographical background, older age, first-time graduate
I am unable to attend the introductory workshop or another scheduled event in my programme line. Can I still apply?
AdvanceMent Freiburg is a fixed programme with face-to-face events (programme that support the mentoring process and workshops) in which the participation of all mentees is required.
If you already know at the time of application that you will not be able to attend one of the scheduled events or that you will not be able to follow the programme to the end, please indicate this on the application form. Changes in personal and professional plans are often not foreseeable. After consultation with the programme management, individual solutions can be sought in such cases. However, we would like to point out that participation in the introductory workshop as well as the interim and final evaluation is mandatory and of central importance for the successful course of the entire mentoring programme in the programme lines @academia and newpathways. Your presence, especially at the introductory workshop, is central to the programme. On this day, you will get to know the other participants, prepare for the work in the mentoring partnership, and clarify your goals for the mentoring process together with the programme management. Furthermore, the peer groups will be formed. So please check before you apply whether you can participate in the introductory workshop.
