The CA23149 chairs will collect CA-members willing to become a mentor. Interested members should send basic information (name, position, email and disciplines and particular research interests, and perhaps previous experiences) to CA’s chair heidi.hein-kircher@rub.de at any time. The chairs will prepare a data basis for matching.

Persons who are interested in becoming a mentee and search for support should write their interest to the chairs too. They need also basic information (name, position, email, discipline and ideas for publication / project proposal). The chairs will try to find a matching mentor for the mentee.
