About the Program

The mentoring program is intended to make DSN more welcoming and useful for students, early-career researchers, and participants attending the conference for the first time. Mentees are matched with experienced members of the DSN community who can share advice, answer questions, and help introduce them to other participants.

Mentors and mentees are encouraged to meet during the conference. They may also choose to connect online before or after DSN 2027.

Who Can Participate?

• Mentees: students, early-career researchers, and first-time DSN attendees
• Mentors: experienced researchers and practitioners willing to share their perspective and help participants engage with the community

Participation is voluntary. The matching process will consider the interests and preferences submitted by prospective mentors and mentees.
