Do you already have an annual plan? By the end of 2025, what would you like to be able to say to yourself?

  • What goals have you set for this year, and which ones absolutely need to take priority?
  • What could make this year even better?

To support you in your career development, and based on your wishes expressed to the ECR council, CIBSS is launching "Elevate Together" a peer mentoring program. The main goal of the program is to provide you with the support and assistance that you need from other peers.

What are the benefits for you?

  • A supportive network to accompany you along your journey for a six-month period.
  • Gain motivation when you feel low, brainstorm ideas with peers, and discuss solutions when you encounter challenges.
  • Share your progress and keep it tracked. Share tips and experiences whenever you can contribute.
