LiveScience

Mentoring program for junior professors and tenure-track professors.

Aim

The promotion of junior and tenure-track professors is a particular goal of the University of Stuttgart. For this purpose, the university has adopted quality assurance concepts that include participation in the mentoring program.

The program's aim is to bring you together with experienced colleagues at the University of Stuttgart. This is because it is important that the great wealth of informal knowledge is passed on to you, thus promoting a culture of openness, cooperation, mutual support, and ultimately shared responsibility for the further development of our university.

You as junior and tenure-track professors have the opportunity to take advantage of individual one-on-one mentoring in the LiveScience Mentoring Program at GRADUS. You are invited to approach us at any time if you want to become part of the program. The mentoring is embedded in networking events to connect with other mentees and mentors within the program.
