Overview:
The purpose of the FLoC 2022 Mentoring Workshop (FLoC'22 MW) is to provide mentoring and career advice to senior undergraduate and junior researchers at all stages, and to attract them to pursue research careers. The workshop will particularly encourage the participation of women and underrepresented minorities.
There will be two workshop days, one before each FLoC Conference Block, so the students can choose which one of the two they prefer to attend. The workshop program will include a number of talks and interactive sessions. The talks will give an overview of research areas related to FLoC conferences and workshops. Other talks will provide mentoring and career advice, from academia and industry.
