EUPHAnxt mentoring programme

Connecting public health students and early-career professionals with experienced leaders across Europe.

Are you just starting your journey in public health and looking for guidance, inspiration, or a professional sounding board? The EUPHAnxt Mentoring Programme is here to help.

This initiative connects students and young professionals with experienced public health experts across Europe and beyond. Whether you’re exploring career options, looking to deepen your knowledge in a specific field, or hoping to grow your network, our mentoring programme offers a valuable space for learning and connection.

What you can expect

As a mentee, you’ll be matched with a seasoned professional in public health who shares your interests. Together, you’ll have the chance to discuss career goals, research ideas, skills development, and more—shaping your next steps with insight from someone who’s been there.

As a mentor, you’ll support the next generation of public health professionals, sharing your experience and offering guidance that can make a real difference.
