Meet the team

Mentoring@CERN is a collaborative effort that brings together the expertise of two established programmes:

· The WIT mentoring programme, launched in 2018, which emphasised on developing transversal skills and pairing mentors with female mentees.

· The LHC Early Career Mentoring Programme, initiated in 2020, which focused on connecting professionals across LHC experiments.

By merging these initiatives, we aim to make mentorship opportunities accessible to everyone in the CERN community.

The Organizing Committee

The Organizing Committee is composed by volunteers from the LHC Early Career Scientists Fora and the WIT.
