STEMNova Mentorship Network

Connect emerging African scientists with experienced mentors in research, academia, and industry.

The STEMNova Mentorship Network transforms isolated talent into connected careers. We match students and early-career researchers with mentors who share their discipline, context, and ambitions creating relationships that endure through university transitions, fellowship applications, and first research appointments.

Goals

• Establish sustained mentor-mentee relationships across STEM disciplines and career stages
• Reduce attrition among talented students facing limited guidance and professional networks
• Connect African STEM talent to global research communities through mentor introductions
• Build a scalable mentorship infrastructure with training, safeguarding, and quality standards

Who it is for

Young Scholars alumni, fellowship recipients, university STEM students, and early-career researchers seeking sustained guidance from experienced African and diaspora STEM professionals.
