- Abstract
- This paper examines the role mentoring plays in supporting academics to meet the demands of academic researcher, teacher, and administrator. A focus group was convened of those who had a particular interest in mentoring and collaborative research to discuss what mentoring meant to them and how it could best be facilitated. It was concluded that an organisation can best meet its preferred outcomes by creating a climate in which informal mentoring can flourish, while simultaneously developing a safety net of formal mentoring to catch those who slip through the informal networks.
