Coaching and Mentoring

Description

At the higher education institutions in Switzerland, experts provide you as researchers at different career levels with various mentoring programmes and coaching possibilities. In your department, and especially from your supervisor, you receive the closest support in your field and in your specific area.

Nevertheless, some “next steps” are maybe worth checking out, for example the funding possibilities (could an ERC proposal be something for me?) or internships with industry or advice from HR on career paths in academia and outside.
