The BES Mentoring Scheme for Women in Ecology is now open for applications. This is the third time that the Society has run the scheme, which is open to all women who are members of the BES, but not to PhD, Masters or undergraduate students.

Applications are welcome from both potential mentees and mentors. The closing date is 1st July.

There will be a training day in London on 8th September, which all participants are strongly encouraged to attend.

The commitment required from mentors and mentees is small; all materials and support will be provided by the BES and our partner, the UK Resource Centre for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology, throughout the scheme (with mentoring relationships generally lasting for one year at most).

Further information and an application form is available from the BES website.
