The 13th Cohort of Candidate Fellows Mentoring Programme

Objectives
The mentoring component of the Fellows Development Programme is intended to transfer skills to the Candidate Fellows in their respective areas of speciality by tapping into the knowledge, skills, and experience of the mentors that will be assigned to each one of them.

Target Group
The mentoring programme targets the Candidate Fellows selected based on the nominations from the client institutions in the member countries.

Implementation
The 13th Cohort of Candidate Fellows selected will undergo rigorous one-on-one mentoring and coaching by leading experts in their respective areas of specialty. This will be an ongoing process that will start with the development of technical proposals, the conduct of research, and the preparation of research papers leading to graduation. The larger part of this process will be covered in the first 12 months of the 13th Cohort of MEFMI Fellows in the 2026 implementation year. The remaining 6 months will be covered in 2027.
