The Program

Global Talent Mentoring is a worldwide program that provides long-term, research-based support and guidance to students from all countries who excel in one or more STEMM fields, all at no cost. The core method of talent support is one-on-one mentoring, combined with collaborative and interdisciplinary discussion of and work on STEMM topics in projects and challenges. Global Talent Mentoring offers a singular opportunity for networking: a community of eminent, internationally renowned STEMM experts together with excellent youths, each eager to develop their talents, provides a unique opportunity to connect with specialists and inquisitive young academics from all over the world.

Mentees and Mentors

Mentoring is a collaborative at-will relationship in which one person—a mentor—shares their knowledge, skills, and experience with another person, a mentee, who is typically not as knowledgeable or experienced and benefits from the mentor's guidance and perspective. Mentoring is considered a highly effective talent development measure that can yield especially positive results in gifted students. Through this support, mentees can gain knowledge in their field of interest, learn specific skills, and receive valuable advice on their career plans and advancement.

about gtm

Development of Global Talent Mentoring began in late 2017 with the goal of creating a research-based program to mentor exceptionally talented students in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical sciences (STEMM).
The impetus for the program came from the work done on talent development and mentoring by Prof. Dr. Heidrun Stoeger and Prof. Drs. Albert Ziegler. Since 2005, Prof. Dr. Stoeger and Prof. Drs. Albert Ziegler have been directing CyberMentor, a successful, Germany-wide online mentoring program. CyberMentor supports girls between the ages of 12 and 18 years in developing their interests in STEM. With the help of CyberMentor, Prof. Dr. Stoeger and her team have conducted extensive research on online mentoring in STEM and talent development. The methodically rigorous accompanying research has been described in numerous peer-reviewed publications.
