The pilot phase of the Perrett Laver and Berlin Research 50 collaboration, better known as the PL_BR50 Mentoring Program, has successfully completed.

On May 3rd, 2024, 14 female scientists and science managers graduated from the program. During the 9-months long journey, which was led by founder Dr Nicole Shea (PL) and Dr Anja Sommerfeld (BR50), participants had the opportunity to reflect on personal branding and communication strategies and to gain insights into career paths across sectors.

Through personal coaching and training sessions, two mentees were able to climb the career ladder even before the end of the program. Details regarding the next application round will be forthcoming later this fall.
