EUMENT-NET Exchange Meeting | 11–12 June 2026 | Luxembourg
We are pleased to invite you to save the date for the upcoming EUMENT-NET Annual Exchange Meeting, which will take place on 11–12 June 2026 at the University of Luxembourg.
As a pre-event, we are delighted to announce that on 10 June, the University of Luxembourg will host will host Laura Bates for an evening lecture (part of their Women Leaders Series). Participants are warmly invited to join us already on the 10th for this special session.
This year’s exchange meeting — “Advancing Career Development Through Mentorship Within Complex and Unequal Academic and Research Environments” — aims to bring together professionals — both seasoned and new — working on Gender Equality and/or Mentoring, including practitioners, researchers, programme coordinators, and institutional leaders, to explore how mentoring can meaningfully support equitable career development across diverse contexts.
The two days will offer a collaborative and practice-oriented space dedicated to learning, reflection, and exchange rather than formal presentations. The following topics are foreseen:
- Embedding Mentoring in Research Strategy and Policy Frameworks
- Men and mentors as allies
- Impact beyond the mentor–mentee relationship
The meeting will focus on exchange formats such as short provocation talks, practice exchange sessions (“show & tell, not sell”), and co-creation workshops.
A formal invitation with registration details, venue information, and the full programme will follow. We look forward to welcoming you in Luxembourg for two days of rich dialogue and meaningful exchange.
