In November 2023, Young EFFoST (European Federation of Food Science and Technology) in cooperation with EHEDG kick-started the EYE Mentorship Programme during the EFFoST Conference in Valencia. This programme pairs young professionals with experts from the fields of food science and technology. In the programme, mentees and mentors meet regularly and work together on several topics according to their needs and preferences. In this, the focus lies on personal development as well as professional growth. Intertwined with the 1:1 meetings, on-site events are taking place to enhance networking and to provide hands-on workshops for all participants. In this talk, Felix Schottroff and Adwy van den Berg will present the highlights of the first round of the EYE Mentorship Programme and will announce the start of the 2^nd round of the programme.
