The Geological Society is joining with the Biochemical Society to build links with institutions in developing countries, engage Fellows in sharing knowledge and experience with young scientists at the beginning of their careers, and to help grow links with the international science community, writes Nic Bilham. In the scheme’s first year, we expect to work with PhD students at just one university in Ghana, which specialises in mining and technology – but we hope to grow this in future years.
Mentors will receive training, and will be matched with a student with whom they will be asked to maintain email contact for at least a year. If you have a PhD and/or are Chartered, with at least three years’ subsequent experience in academia or industry, and are interested in finding out more, please email
