What is it about?
The ISEV–SNEV Mentorship Program is a free, year-long, one-to-one mentorship for researchers in the extracellular vesicle (EV) field. The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) and the Student Network on EVs (SNEV) run it together. Mentors and mentees talk about career questions, such as grant writing, career transitions, leadership, communication and building a network in the EV community. 
How does it work?
A volunteer committee matches each mentee with a mentor. The match is based on the career topics the mentee wants to discuss, their EV research interests and their time zone. Over 12 months, each pair meets about every two months, which comes to around six one-hour conversations. 
Who can join?
Mentees can be graduate students, postdocs or early-career researchers who work in EV biology or are moving into it. Clinician-scientists and industry scientists who want an outside view on a career step can also apply.
Mentors are experienced researchers from academia or industry, such as PIs, senior postdocs and staff scientists. Mentors from underrepresented regions and backgrounds are especially welcome. Mentors and mentees both need an active full ISEV membership.
How to apply?
Applications open for the first three weeks of November and May each year. The form takes about 5 minutes and the committee aims to respond within two weeks of the window closing.
