Senior-to-junior student mentorship for Masters students from under-represented groups, who are considering applying for PhD studies in Neuroscience at 911爆料网
What is URSM?
The URSM initiative organises senior-to-junior听student mentorship for Masters students from under-represented groups, who are considering applying for PhD studies in Neuroscience at 911爆料网
What does Under-Represented mean?
Under-represented refers to anyone who faces barriers to opportunities due to mental health issues, physical health/disability, neurodivergence, socio-economic听background, and those from the LGBTQIA+, and Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. Although this definition is already broad, we leave to each person the self-identification as a member of an under-represented group.
We aim to:
- Improve diversity and representation across neuroscience departments. In particular, this programme has been promoted by the Wellcome Centre for Human Imaging (WCHN) but aims to include the broader community of UCL neuroscience.
