SCS Mentoring Program: Escape Room Adventure
✨️Flashback to an unforgettable mentoring event!
Our Zurich cohort gathered for an epic evening of team building, brain-teasing challenges, and delightful conversations.
🔐The Escape Room Adventure took our mentors and mentees on a thrilling journey, unraveling puzzles and unlocking the true power of collaboration.🚀💡 Each challenge was a testament to the strength that comes from working together towards a common goal.
🌈 After conquering the escape room, it was time to celebrate our victories and newfound friendships at the apero.🥂
🌟Thank you to everyone who made this evening a massive success! @SwissChemistry @youngSCS1! 🧪🤝
Missed out on the fun? Stay tuned for upcoming events and opportunities to join the SCS mentoring program and youngSCS family.

SCS Mentoring Program: amazing Kickoff for the BeNeFri Cluster
Excitingly, on the 13.10.2023, the first event of the SCS Mentoring Program for the BeNeFri Cluster was held in the Chemistry Department of the University of Fribourg.
Around some snacks and a good glass of wine, mentors and mentees got to know each other and had the chance to express their thoughts and their expectations about the program and which topics the mentees would like to discuss in the next sessions. We're looking forward to the next BeNeFri group event in January 2024 😌😍
