Call for Mentors for One-to-one Mentoring at Interspeech 2022
An initiative of the ISCA Mentoring Committee and ISCA-SAC


The ISCA Mentoring Committee and ISCA-SAC are happy to announce that one-to-one mentoring sessions are to return to Interspeech this year. The ISCA Mentoring Committee, in collaboration with ISCA-SAC, are inviting registrations from senior and mid-career speech researchers to act as mentors for students and early career researchers.

One-to-one mentoring was piloted in Brno last year with great success and this year in Incheon, there will be another great opportunity to connect with researchers from various backgrounds and experience levels, and engage in meaningful conversations.

Once registered, we will introduce you to your mentee during Interspeech (online or in-person) and let you arrange the best time/place for your conversation. This is intended to be a one-time session of approximately 40 minutes, although it is up to you and the participant whether you need more or less time for your discussion. Sessions can be conducted online or face-to-face, so delegates attending in-person and virtually can take part.

If you feel that you would be able to give meaningful advice and answer questions from participants, we warmly invite you to register as a mentor via our registration form.

Please also share this call in your networks if you know someone who would make a good mentor.

If you have any questions, do get in touch (sac@isca-speech.org, catarina.t.botelho@tecnico.ulisboa.pt & judith.dineley@kcl.ac.uk).

We look forward to meeting you at Interspeech 2022!

Warm regards,
The ISCA Mentoring Committee & ISCA-SAC
