AMIE Mentoring Program: Supporting Academic and Professional Excellence

The Mentoring arm of the Association for Mentoring and Inclusion in Economics (AMIE) is dedicated to fostering academic and professional growth among Ph.D. students in economics. Our initiatives are designed to provide all participants with the tools and support necessary to excel in their academic and career pursuits.​

Our activities include:

  • Skill-Building Workshops: We offer workshops on topics such as navigating academia (e.g., applying for funding, publishing research, building professional networks) and preparing for the job market (e.g., presentation skills, transitioning to various sectors including academia, think tanks, and non-governmental organizations).​ 
  • Mentorship Opportunities: Participants can engage in long-term mentorship relationships, either one-on-one or in group settings, with experienced economists.​ 
  • Peer Support Networks: We facilitate peer-to-peer mentorship and establish buddy systems among mentees to encourage mutual support and shared learning experiences.​ 
  • Wellness Events: Recognizing the importance of mental health, we host events focused on well-being and work-life balance.​ 

We recruit mentees through open calls and welcome participation from all eligible individuals. We also invite individual researchers, academic and non-academic professionals, research organizations, and universities to partner with us in these endeavors.​
