Benefits for mentors• I gain a lot of energy by sharing

knowledge on how it is in industry. I believe it is important to build bridges between academia and industry through research, master thesis, cases in courses and now also through mentorship. I see this as a win-win activity.

• Intellectual stimulation• To meet another generation• It felt good!• Gaining insight into the conditions for young

academics (important for my own leadership)• Opportunity to reflect on and get

perspective on my own career and my own challenges
