Mentor Programme

We are looking for experienced authors to help us with mentoring individuals new to the ASSETS conference. If you have published in ASSETS or similar venues, we encourage you to apply. If you are interested, please click on the link below which will take you to a form to fill out for inclusion in our mentoring database.

Mentoring

Help with submissions by seasoned researchers is available through the ASSETS Mentoring Program. You may receive advice on your submission in any of the submission categories provided by ASSETS. Although we do not guarantee that your submission will be accepted by ASSETS, most individuals who have used the mentoring service at ASSETS or at the CHI conference where it began have reported positive experiences and an improved understanding of what is required by reviewers.

If you think you would benefit from mentoring either because you are new to presenting your research, new to the type of category you are interested in submitting to or simply find that preparing English language papers foreign to your paper writing experience, please consider applying for mentoring help. Use the form below important dates to make your request.

What if a Mentor does not Work Out?

Although individuals have good intentions when they volunteer to help with mentoring, they may find that they do not have enough time for the task. If so, you are encouraged to ask for a new mentor to help you. You can do this by restarting the process and requesting a mentor.
