TIAS Third Workshop on Intersectoral Working

Mentoring in Different Contexts

As part of the EU-funded Turku Intersectoral Excellence Scheme (TIES), the Turku Institute for Advanced Studies (TIAS) of the University of Turku is holding a series of workshops on the theme of intersectoral working. We take “intersectoral” to mean the coming together and interaction of academics with those working outside of higher education.

We are pleased to announce that the Third Workshop on Intersectoral Working will address the theme of Mentoring. It will take place on Thursday 19 March 2026 at the Calonia Building of the University of Turku.

We will explore mentoring in different contexts such as the public sector, business, politics, and higher education and from two perspectives, the mentor and the mentee. In our programme, a seasoned leader from each context will share their views of mentoring people. We will also hear mentees to get a better understanding of what kind of mentoring is needed. By sharing experiences from different sectors, we aim to get a new, holistic and practical view of the dimensions and complexities of Mentoring.

The event is free.

Welcome!

Martin Cloonan, Director, TIAS and the TIAS team
