Today I am happy to welcome the participants to the IDUN mentee program. Did you know that at the STEM (IE) faculty of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Norway (!) only 14% of the professors were women in 2019? Do you know that some departments still struggle to get female in their committees? Do you know that the Computer Science department has 50% female PhD students? Follow us on instagram, linkedin, facebook, twitter @IDUN_phd_to_prof – and welcome to all participants in the next two days.

.ps remember not to fall in the temptation to look at your emails during meetings. Look at the people as you were in the same room and listen to them as they were the smartest ones, it is the key to become smart.
