Research Mentorship Program (RMP)
“One mentor, one mentee and one publication.” Junior researchers work with a senior SIMAD researcher towards a Scopus- or ISI-indexed paper.
The Research Mentorship Program (RMP) — “one mentor, one mentee and one publication” — connects junior researchers, including public and private sector professionals and postgraduate students, with seasoned researchers affiliated with SIMAD University.
Mentees develop an effective research idea, carry out the research and publish it in a Scopus- or ISI-indexed journal. Senior researchers increase their research output and meet talented junior researchers they can work with in future. The program runs in tracks of 72 hours (3 hours per week).
Details on this page are from the most recent call (February 2024). The next intake will be announced here.
