Our latest event for the Charter was a massive hit! - So kindly hosted by one of our leading signatories, The National Composites Centre (@NCCUKinfo). We thought we would let you have a little read of what went on, and perhaps you could find yourself at our next event.

WOMEN RESEARCHERS' MENTORING SCHEME

Laura Fogg-Rogers presented the Women Researchers’ Mentoring Scheme.
Offering a specified number of mentoring opportunities which aim to provide mentees with encouragement, support and advice from experienced colleagues.
Female mentees are matched through hand matching to a female of male mentor, with 300 members of staff having participated in the scheme from 2013 to February 2019 - it sounds like it’s proven to be beneficial! Here are some stats:

  • 90% satisfaction rate reported with the matching process and match with mentor-mentee
  • 88% of survey respondents would recommend the WRMS to others.
