Welcome to the International Network of Mentoring Researchers
The International Network of Mentoring Researchers (IMRN) was developed to promote collaboration among mentoring experts in ways that deepen our understanding and improve our ability to advance the lives of youth and people at risk for social exclusion.
As a member of the IMRN, you can discover like-minded researchers across the globe and establish collaborations, share ideas and resources, and broaden perspectives.
