Speed Dating
The Speed Dating sessions allow students and early career researchers to meet for 10 minutes with PIs, post-docs, and industry mentors to gain valuable insights, guidance, and advice to help be successful in their academic pursuits and professional development.

We aim to match mentor and mentees based on some keywords. Mentees can also indicate specific persons they would like to meet. All are welcome to participate. We will do our best to match mentors/mentees, but whether we are able to provide matches for everyone will depend on the number of mentors/mentees who sign up to participate.

You can sign up to participate as mentor or a mentee via the registration form. Note that if you wish to participate in the Speed Dating, you must register by May 18.

 About Gather Town

Gather.town is a video-calling experience designed to help people gather online. Create your avatar, use a video-calling interface and wander around a 2D style space with other attendees. As you move around the map with your keyboard arrows, the webcam video and microphone audio of the other people in the room fades based on your distance to them.

We are grateful for the support of our institutional funders
