Get involved

There are many ways to offer support at home (in the form of mentoring and grant writing) and abroad. We provide here a few suggestions and we are happy to discuss possibilities with colleagues should they care for advice.

• Mentoring: ‘Partnerships for Scholar Advancement’ via the IIE’s Scholar Rescue Fund
