The network is now recruiting mentors (facilitators) and mentees (circle participants) to take part in the pilot Mentoring Programme to support researchers from underrepresented and minoritised groups in energy research. The closing date for expressions of interest is 27 October 2023 to attend a briefing session on 30 October 2023, 10am.
The aim of the IGNITE Network+ Action Learning Circles is to support career advancement, facilitate networking and develop a community of researchers in energy, across academia and industry. Participants will have the opportunity to share lived experiences and to support one another.
