The Pacific Futures Mentoring Programme is open to emerging, early and mid-career Pacific researchers and PAS Fellows and Members to sign up.
The Tupaia Grants return this month for a second round, following a first cohort that carried Pacific-led into villages, classrooms and coastal waters across the region.
The Programme contributes to the PF's mission of strengthening Pacific scientific leadership, mentorship, collaboration, knowledge exchange, and community impact. The Programme supports the development of emerging Pacific researchers, innovators and knowledge holders while strengthening connections across the region.
“Many mentoring programmes exist, but this one is different. It was co-designed with PF members from the outset to reflect the realities of emerging, early and mid-career Pacific researchers, rather than applying a generic template to the region.”
Measina Meredith, Programme Coordinator
