🙏 It's a learning and development partnership between someone with specific experience (a mentor) and someone who wants to learn or develop (a mentee).
💬 Mentoring entails a series of structured conversations through which a mentor guides a mentee, offering insights, skills, and networks crucial for personal and professional development.

CHARGING TIME TO THE PROJECT
Mentors from Project beneficiaries may charge time they spend mentoring to WP1T5. (Beneficiaries include GÉANT's 40 members and their beneficiaries. For example, Norwegian universities which are Nordunet members could charge their time via Nordunet).
There is no mechanism to reimburse time for those outside the Project e.g. from international NRENs or non-member universities.
Mentees cannot claim time from the GÉANT GN5-1 Project (but should benefit from receiving mentoring!).
