YoungEHA Mentorship Mixer at EHA2024

Hosted by the YoungEHA Committee, the Mentorship Mixer is a pilot event for a potential EHA mentorship program. Unlike existing programs, this new ‘Mentorship and Career Development Program’ will focus on career-related issues rather than scientific or clinical trial projects.

The informal mixer event will be held as part of the EHA2024 Congress in Madrid. It's an opportunity for a small group of early career mentees to meet with more experienced members of the EHA community and:

Expand their networks
Explore the setting up of more formal mentorship connections
Seed mentor-mentee interactions that can be taken forward into the coming year

Event details

The YoungEHA Mentorship Mixer will take place on Saturday, June 15, 2024, from 11:30 to 12:30 (CEST).

It will be held in the membership lounge of the Recinto Ferial venue, in Madrid, Spain.

If you're selected to take part, the YoungEHA team will send you more detailed instructions by email.
