2024 Mentors
Faculty mentors have considerable experience and expertise in conducting international research and working with international collaborators. They are matched with Academy fellows and attend biweekly group meetings with all participants. They also meet with their mentees individually two to three times a semester to guide them in the development of their concept notes.
