Are you interested in developing the next generation of neuro-oncology specialists/researchers? Could you use your experiences to guide others?

EANO is looking for established clinicians and researchers to support their Mentorship Program. We are looking for individuals across the spectrum of neuro-oncology - from basic scientists with various interests to clinicians of all allied health professional (AHP) or medical disciplines. Registered volunteer mentors may be selected by a mentee to work together for a year on a project proposed by the mentee, determined at the outset and to be developed by the pair.

A pool of volunteer mentors will be created, and mentees will be able to apply, proposing an area of need and proposing up to three of mentors from the pool. The preferences will not be binding to EANO but there will be an effort to satisfy them. Kindly note that the mentor’s first name, last name, specialty, and area of expertise will be listed on the program website (www.eano.eu) to inform prospective mentees.

As a mentor you will bring your skills and experiences to advise your mentee on the project that you will jointly develop. This may be setting up a laboratory or clinical project, writing a grant application or a manuscript, or another project you may jointly define.

You will meet your mentee virtually, monthly for an hour or as you deem appropriate according to the project being developed, the idea being that you will complete this project in the span of one year. Additionally, if both mentor and mentee are attending the EANO 2025 Meeting in Prague and their schedules allow, they are welcome to join a coffee meet-up to get acquainted, planned for Friday, October 17, from 10:45 to 11:15 CEST.

Mentees will be required to complete an interim and a final survey. The final survey will include a brief summary of their project and its outcomes. Projects are meant to be the vehicle through which mentees acquire organizational skills for project management as well as pure neuro-oncology-related knowledge.

Mentees will be members of EANO. If suitable, the projects will be eligible for selection to be presented at the EANO annual meeting.
