Equator Mentoring Network 2025 now open for applications!

We are delighted to announce that the EQUATOR 2025 Mentoring Network will take place from April to August 2025

This mentoring programme is ringfenced for Black, Asian and minority ethnic students in Geography, Earth, and Environmental Sciences (GEES) disciplines. It is funded by sponsorship from the British Geological Survey and led by the University of Birmingham and Sheffield Hallam University. The overall goal of the Mentoring Network is to increase retention into postgraduate research (PGR) and improve student experience.

Participation in the EQUATOR 2025 mentoring network is fully funded. Successful applicants will be matched with two mentors (with the aim of one academic and one in a non-academic professional career) and offered remuneration for their time spent participating.

Applications to join the Mentoring Network are now open for students studying in GEES from across the UK- please apply by 31st March 2025 by visiting the Mentoring Network website here.
