Call for Mentors: ILAE Mentoring Programme 2026
The Mentoring Task Force of the ILAE Career Development Commission is launching a year-long mentoring programme at the EEC 2026 in Athens, Greece.
Mentors play an important role by listening, sharing their experience, offering guidance, and asking thought-provoking questions that help others grow. Mentoring is also a rewarding opportunity for personal and professional development—strengthening leadership, communication, and coaching skills while encouraging self-reflection, expanding professional networks, and providing fresh perspectives through meaningful connections. By becoming a mentor, you can make a lasting impact while continuing to learn and grow yourself.
If you are interested in providing mentorship to mentees from around the world across different career stages and professions in epilepsy research and care, please submit your interest form by Friday, 24 July 2026.
