Mentoring

REBECA mentoring programme: The University of Oviedo collaborated with FECYT in the fourth edition of the “REBECA” mentoring programme. This programme is aimed at mentoring researchers who wish to learn about career development options beyond the scope of academic research.

The “REBECA” programme brings researchers in the early phases of their careers (predoctoral and postdoctoral stages) in contact with professionals from various disciplines dedicated to activities related to research and innovation, such as communication or management, among others.
