Mentees
Mentees are highly motivated young professionals working in the food industry or academia, i.e. (prospective) PhD students or early-stage Postdocs.

Through the program and the regular 1:1 meetings with their mentor, mentees will better understand their desired career path, get input for their personal development, and become more confident in their skillset and role in a professional environment.

Mentors
Mentors are professionals from the field of food science and technology (or related) - from academia as well as industry, with at least 5 years of working experience. Prior mentor experience is a plus but not a must.

Through the program, mentors will get to know talented future professionals, improve their leadership and mentoring skills, and broaden their network.
