<b>AGATA is happy to announce the AGATA mentoring programme for Early Career Scientists and graduate students (PhD level). AGATA mentoring programme aims to bring students and ECS together, provide them with guidance, and support their travel to the SCAR Open
Science Conference. Successful applicants will actively participate in all AGATA activities at SCAR OSC including the AGATA business meeting, and also participate in the online workshops with a dedicated programme before the SCAR OSC. The goal is not only
to create a network of young researchers, but also to write and submit collaborative scientific papers led by ECRs.</b><br>
<br>
The candidates to the AGATA mentoring programme should be in the early stage of their career, either PhD students or up to 5 years after the PhD defence by the time of application deadline. Parental leaves, sick leaves etc. will be accounted for.<br>
