Are you a researcher interested in personal development? Would you like to strengthen your CV? Or are you looking to maintain a healthy work-life balance? Do you have questions about your academic career path or opportunities beyond academia? Join our research institute-wide mentoring program!

In the mentoring program, you can both offer and receive advice, support, and guidance on work-related issues from researchers at various stages of their careers—ranging from research nurses, technicians to postdoctoral researchers, and from assistant professors to full professors. The program encompasses fundamental, clinical, and translational research and is open for all researchers linked to the research institutes of Amsterdam UMC.

Researchers can sign up as a mentee and/or mentor from now until October 1st 2025 and will get matched in October. Two kick-off meetings will take place on October 27th (at AMC) and on October 30th (at VUMC), after which the mentoring meetings can begin. We will also organize a workshop about mentorship or an important theme for mentor-mentee conversations.

If you want to stay matched with your current mentor/mentee in the next academic year, please let the mentoring program team know via mentoringprogram@amsterdamumc.nl, latest October 1st, 2025. If you are a mentor and have room for more mentees, or if you are a mentee and would like to be matched with a new mentor, please sign up using the registration form latest October 1st, 2025.

Don't miss out – register here and elevate your research career! For more information, reach out to mentoringprogram@amsterdamumc.nl.
