ASEF Mentors

ASEF welcomes new researchers working abroad or in Slovenia to become ASEF mentors.

We are delighted to accept highly motivated researchers, who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences with ASEF Junior Fellows and participate to ASEF vision of giving talented Slovenian students and students of Slovenian heritage the ability to realize their potential to the fullest.

There is no application for becoming ASEF Mentor as proposals are
considered on a rolling basis by ASEF Board.

If you would like to join us or would like to
recommend somebody you know, please write us an email.
