The coronavirus pandemic has prevented this year's students from being able to meet many like-minded people working in development.

We'd like to offer current IDS students the chance to be connected to a former IDS student for a one-off 30 minute virtual coffee meeting.

If you'd like to be part of this- either as a student or an alum- please sign-up online using our short form.

You'll then receive one connection, selected at random, via email, after 1 July 2020. We'll also include some conversation starters to help you out. [If you're looking a mentoring please check out the careers & mentoring page)

Other than the expectation to arrange between you a 30 minute virtual chat. There is no formal structure, it is just a friendly chat for half an hour to help IDS students expand their network, during these unusual times.
