The publication focuses on the impact of formal mentoring on the start of professional paths of early career researchers at doctoral and postdoctoral stages. The book of interviews with alumni of the mentoring programme of the Centre for Gender and Science at the Institute of Sociology, Czech Academy of Sciences, gives an insight into the situation of early career researchers in the Czech Republic working and studying in various disciplines and various types of institutions. The book introduces young people’s notions about scientific work and their careers. It also explores the perceived obstacles to their professional development which they sought to overcome in the framework of the mentoring programme. The book also offers possible future pointers for human resources policies at research institutions and provides inspiration for coordinators of mentoring programmes in Czech academia.
