    In my research teams I always end up with the highest work load – but scarcely any visibility. Is this just my personal problem? And what can I do about it while still being a good team player?

    ARIADNE mentoring offers a safe space to reflect and get help regarding your positioning as a female researcher.

    I am quite successful in my Master studies and a career in science tempts me. But am I up to the challenge? What will life as a PhD student look like? And how do I apply for a PhD position?

    ARIADNE mentoring helps you to make sound career decisions and to hit the ground running for your PhD.

    As an ARIADNE mentor you will offer female early career scientists individual advice and guidance to help them steer their career.
