DevNet Mentorship Programme
DevNet has developed a Mentorship Programme in response to the call for the provision of targeted support to Pacific Researchers, and in keeping with the organisation’s outcome to promote research collaborations. Recipients of DevNet’s Pacific Development Research Write-Up Grants are invited to indicate their interest in working with a mentor.
This is completely optional and not a condition of the grant. Information on the DevNet Mentorship Programme is available here.
