Mentoring Without Borders
Mentoring without borders project is all about supporting each other independent of where we live.
There are three components of this project.
1. Every week, we post opportunities for fellowships, scholarships and new vacancies through our social media. The easiest way to keep yourself updated is to subscribe to our twitter account @PIAInc or search through using hashtag #mentoringwithoutborders.
2. In addition, you can contact us for support in your research projects, finding supervisors or examiners.
3. For overseas Pakistanis, all we need is to let us know if you are planning to visit Pakistan during holidays and would like to spare some time to assist students and academics through a workshop, a short course or even a talk/Q & A session. We will be delighted to link you with the institutions that could benefit from your experience.
