Mentoring Program at Cluster 2016Catching the Cluster spirit!

Why a Mentoring Program at Cluster 2016? Students are our future! They are the future of our research and the Cluster community. The Cluster conference launched a Mentoring Program for PhD, Master, and Undergraduate students in 2014, as a service to the community.
The goal of this program is to help students participate in the conference and build their scientific career as efficiently as possible. The interaction with conference attendees will help student develop their technical skills. The complements and extends the students’ development by fostering the integration of students into the Cluster scientific community, advising them to plan their professional career in academia or industry, improving their scientific communication skills, and providing the students with the right entry points for an efficient networking.
