Sci.STEPS scientific mentoring program started as a Russian-speaking project in 2022. We learned a lot from that experience, and now we are ready to expand. Embracing the global spirit of science, we passionately believe that careers in STEM know no borders, and our commitment to mindful career planning now reaches an international community.
