The supervised research program pairs each mentee with a subject matter expert who is an early career researcher with a deep passion for teaching young minds the essence of critical thinking and independent research endeavours. The pair then works on a mutually determined research question that they answer by the end of the program. This research will produce an academic research paper.

An early career researcher from a top research institution from across the globe will supervise each research endeavour. Additionally, the students will benefit from the support of skilled professional editors and educational consultants through the program.

Each mentor-mentee pair mutually proposes a novel, timely, and pressing research question or topic. If it interests the students, they can work on a topic of their mentor’s choice as well.
