Mentoring the new generations
The future lies in the next generations and it is our duty to provide equitable access to science for all. We work on a number of initiatives to inspire the new generations to pursue STEM careers. Have a look to some of our work.
Volunteering with The Girls’ Network
The Girls’ Network is a charity which mission is to inspire and empower girls from the least advantaged communities by connecting them with a mentor and a network of professional female role models.
Our project manager volunteers with this charity as mentor and participates in events promoting women in STEM including a visit to the Institute for girls from a local school. In their last visit the girls enjoyed a tour of the Biochemistry labs, the NMR centre for metabolomics and the bioinformatics office.
