The RSC’s Mentoring Platform was launched to members in January 2025. The platform makes it much easier for people to have a fulfilling mentoring partnership. You may have seen some communications from the RSC about it, but we’re keen to work with Interest Groups to promote this opportunity and boost registrations!

Learn more at Mentoring (log in to your RSC account and you will be taken directly to the mentoring web page): https://members.rsc.org/site/content/Careers_Webpages/mentoring.aspx
