Mentorship Sessions

CIDR has been organizing mentorship sessions in the recent years. Attendees who are interested in being a mentor will be paired with a mentee (or a few mentees depending on the demand) for a ~30min session. The mentors decide when this session takes place depending on their availability. Interest in being a mentor or mentee is polled during the registration process.
