We’re thrilled to announce that recruitment has now opened for facilitators and participants in the 2026 cohort of the IGNITE Network+ Mentoring Programme!
This innovative programme is designed to support researchers in energy from underrepresented and minoritised backgrounds, including early career researchers, women, racialised minorities*, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities. Our goal is to foster meaningful connections, support career progression, and build a vibrant, inclusive community across academia and industry.
The IGNITE Network+ Action Learning Circles offer a unique space for researchers to:
- Share lived experiences in a supportive environment.
- Build networks across disciplines and sectors.
- Advance personal and professional development collaboratively.
