    My ambition is to succeed in academic research – but I want children, too. How can I align both?

    ARIADNE mentoring helps with advice and best practices.

    I am passionate about science and research. Being a woman how can I win recognition in academia?

    ARIADNE mentoring accompanies you with strategies and practical hints.

    Am I up to the requirements of a scientific career? Do I bring along personal qualities I will need throughout the process?

    ARIADNE mentoring supports you with your career decisions.

    When it comes to applications, I fear I lack contacts, support and confidence. What to do?

    ARIADNE mentoring guides you on how to build networks, to mobilize support and to strengthen confidence.

    In my research teams I always end up with the highest work load – but scarcely any visibility. Is this just my personal problem? And what can I do about it while still being a good team player?

    ARIADNE mentoring offers a safe space to reflect and get help regarding your positioning as a female researcher.

    I am quite successful in my Master studies and a career in science tempts me. But am I up to the challenge? What will life as a PhD student look like? And how do I apply for a PhD position?

    ARIADNE mentoring helps you to make sound career decisions and to hit the ground running for your PhD.

    I think there should be more women in science! What can I do to help?

    As an ARIADNE mentor you will offer female early career scientists individual advice and guidance to help them steer their career.

    “Do I have to sacrifice my personal life to a scientific career? Or is it possible to succeed in science and have a rich personal life?”
