IEWG Mentoring Program

The Society for Conservation Biology’s Impact Evaluation Working Group (SCB IEWG) is launching the second edition of its mentoring program to support people in their journey to learn and apply conservation impact evaluation methods.

Are you a conservation practitioner, a project manager, a student, or a researcher who has started learning about conservation impact evaluations? This mentoring program can help you connect with a colleague to create a safe space to discuss learning, skills, and career development related to impact evaluation!

If you are already familiar with impact evaluation and using it regularly in your work or research, please also join this program as a mentor to provide advice and help a learning mentee! It is a good preparation for the skills needed to supervise students, and it can also help expose academic researchers to the needs of conservation practitioners. The mentoring program can also be a first step toward a more formalized collaboration or co-publication if both parties are interested.

Find more information on the program here!

To be part of the mentoring program, please fill in this form before September 29, 2023. We are especially looking for potential mentors interested in helping learning mentees!

We strive to form about 10 pairs of mentees/mentors. You can apply to the mentoring program even if you are not yet a member of the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB). The selected pairs will be contacted before the end of October 2023. 

If you have any questions or difficulties, please contact Seb Costedoat.
