The mentor scheme is developed in collaboration between the STAGES-team and the HR department at Aarhus University
The mentor scheme is founded on experiences from a pilot project initiated in April 2010. When the project was evaluated both mentors and mentees described the scheme as having a positive effect. On that background it was suggested to implement the mentor scheme permanently.
The pilot project was developed as a part the gender equality project called WHIST. The project was funded by the European Union´s FP7 programme, which aims to obtain a more decisive commitment of member states in the promotion of women involved in academic research and technological development.
