The principle objective of the ‘Scientific Bonds: International Mentoring’ project was to catalyse an e-mentoring programme between multidisciplinary UK Learned Societies and institutions in developing countries, in the first instance on the continent of Africa. This project involved the Biochemical Society and the University of Ibadan, Nigeria.

As a result of these mentoring relationships we aimed to enhance the scientific experience of students and early-career scientists by sharing scientific knowledge, providing a source of motivation and inspiration and offering advice. We aimed that the mentors also found the programme personally rewarding, thereby contributing to their own personal and professional development.
