he project by Lab24 in cooperation with LeadTheFuture is designed for those university students who are looking for an accessible international dimension, in which they can find better educational and economic resources, without emigrating permanently, but exploring the possibilities offered by research and entrepreneurship, and discovering their own way.
The exchange between those who have made this choice before (mentor) and those who want to understand how best to steer their path (mentee) is made possible by one of the cardinal principles of this project created by (former) students: the 'give back'. That is, to give back, and not for a fee, to the community what one has learnt. There is also another element that unites those who have embarked on this path: a positive and passionate outlook towards the future. With the confidence and desire to work to be part of it.
The new dedicated site, where the stories of those who have embarked on this path and useful information will gradually grow, is intended to allow a leap in scale to this relationship of comparison, advice and learning. Graphs and numbers are in themselves an analysis of the phenomenon: most mentors come from Lombardy (47), Lazio (37) and Emilia-Romagna (34), followed by Piedmont (27) and Veneto (25). These are the regions with the highest university and industrial concentration,.
A significant proportion of mentors now live in the United States (75), followed by the United Kingdom (51) and Switzerland (45). Italy, however, remains a pole of reference, with 57 remaining in the country. Then Germany (15), the Netherlands (15), Spain (9) and France (7).
On the professional side, a strong diversification prevails, so much so that 'other' is the largest subset given the variety of clues. Data Science and Machine Learning (38) and Computer Science (31) stand out, followed by Physics (19). There is no shortage of qualified participants in Biomedical Engineering (14), Electronic Engineering (14), Mechanical Engineering (12) and Mathematics (11). Basic sciences, therefore, flanked by more applied courses.
