COSMIC Peer Mentoring Program for Early Career Researchers!

We are thrilled to announce that applications for the COSMIC Peer Mentoring Program are now open!

This exciting initiative is coordinated by the COSMIC Teaching and Education Committee and is designed specifically for early career researchers (ECRs) working or studying in the field of dementia epidemiology.

About the Program

The COSMIC Peer Mentoring Program is a 12-month structured mentoring program that pairs early career researchers with peers to support their professional growth. The program is built around two core goals:

  • Building research skills — helping ECRs strengthen their expertise in dementia epidemiology through guided learning and peer support
  • Fostering international collaboration — connecting researchers across borders to build a truly global network in dementia research

Who Should Apply?

This program is open to early career researchers who are currently working or studying in dementia epidemiology. Whether you are a PhD student, postdoctoral researcher, or early-stage investigator, this is a fantastic opportunity to grow your skills and expand your professional network.

How to Apply

Applications are open now and are due by 30th June 2026.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a structured, supportive, and internationally connected mentoring community. Apply today!
