Prof. Dr Stefanie Dehnen, GDCh President 2024 & 2025, about CheMento:
"Our world is currently changing rapidly - everything is becoming more confusing and uncertain. In times like these, it is particularly important for young professionals to be able to rely on experienced people who can act as mentors to help them find their own path and take their first steps with confidence. To this end, the GDCh has established the CheMento programme, a platform that offers exactly that - free of charge and uncomplicated! Students, doctoral candidates and postdocs can enjoy the benefits of a large network and the expertise gathered there and use it for their own careers. Don't miss out on this opportunity!"
