Sciences Mentors

Fellowship recipients receive financial assistance and support from renowned professionals who are experts in their domains.

Mentors are vital contributors to the Foundation, volunteering to share their experiences with our Fellows. Each Mentor is widely respected in their relevant fields, among them scientists, government officials and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. They offer assistance to our fellows in the following areas:

guidance on developments in chosen area of work,
share their professional experiences,
help them with decision about career opportunities,
widen their professional network.

The Carnot Foundation organizes a weekend each year where Fellows present their job experiences and receive advice from Mentors and other Fellows.
