About this opportunity
MAXMINDS 2. 0 is a mentoring initiative led by volunteer researchers and alumni of the Max Planck Society.
It is aimed at scholars whose work is threatened by war or natural disaster and who have limited access to research resources and institutional support.

The support covers finding and applying for positions, scholarships, fellowships and research stays, strengthening your CV and proposals, building academic connections and staying scientifically active. Mentoring runs for at least four months and can extend to six.
