Mentoring Future Generations (MFG) is a multi-stage research development and mentorship program designed for young scholars, university students, and early-career academics. The program aims to develop globally competent researchers through structured training, certification, and publication support.
MFG aims to mentor young researchers to strengthen their research skills, academic writing, and publication capacity, and to prepare them for postgraduate studies and academic careers.
Applicants must pass an entrance interview and an English competency test before joining the program.
