VAAMentoring
YOUR career options in microbiology - our new VAAM mentoring programme for young scientists to support career planning at an early stage and provide professional orientation:
Benefit from our more than 3500 members in the various fields of microbiology who are represented in almost all relevant professional fields and are involved through their networks. Tandems of one mentee and one mentor each ensure particularly targeted advice.
The programme is aimed at both mentees who wish to remain in academic research and those who are aiming at a different career.
We are looking for dedicated scientists who would like to pass on their experience to the next generation of microbiologists! Please contact the VAAM office if you would like to support us in VAAMentoring. Please fill out the application form for mentors with questions about your professional career and send it back to us (info@vaam.de).
Thank you for your support!
