Applications are now open for the Nature Awards for Mentoring in Science 2024
WEST AFRICA

Introduction

Celebrating outstanding support and mentorship in science, the Nature Awards for Mentoring in Science recognise those who support early career researchers in their career development. Focused on a different country or region each year, this year’s award focuses on mentors in West Africa (as defined by the UN), and invites former mentees to nominate a mentor that has made a significant contribution to their careers.

Nomination process

• Nominees may be nominated by colleagues and ex-colleagues or nominate themselves.
• Nominations for a candidate must include independent testimonials by five researchers (no more or less) mentored by their nominee, not all over the same period.
