elmi Community Room Workshop
Joelle Goulding, University of Nottingham & Georgina Fletcher, BioImaging UK and Royal Microscopical Society
The Royal Microscopical Society offers 2 different mentoring schemes, application coaching and personal mentoring. Application coaching focuses on creating expert pairings to develop hard-skills and personal mentoring is aimed at developing soft-skills. These schemes are for microscopists and are led by microscopists and supported by the PDTFIG (professional development and training focussed interest group (RMS)). Mentees are welcomed from any employment sector and job level. We recruit our mentors from the wide, international microscopy community. Please come along and find out about the schemes, find out about mentoring and what it’s like to be a mentee or a mentor. There will be a short presentation to introduce the schemes, which will be repeated halfway through the session. There will also be the opportunity to talk to mentees and mentors who have taken part in the scheme so please drop by and have a chat!
