Mentoring opportunities

Fellow Kat Eleonora runs a Facebook IP group, which she originally created for her students. Membership is however open to anyone with an interest in IP. Eleonora has now added a ‘Mentorship‘ functionality, which allows the pairing of mentors and mentees, so that younger members of the group can get insights and tips from more experienced members in an informal and relaxed setting. If you are interested in joining the programme, do sign up!
