We need to discuss the requirements for the scholarX platform. Since this could be a big milestone on SEF I think this is quite urgent as well as an important project.

Hello, a platform I came across that could be helpful in building the mentorship platform is Ten Thousand Coffees (https://www.tenthousandcoffees.com/). They host different universities, organizations etc. and you make a profile and are connected to people with similar interests. I’m logged in through my university so I can screenshot maybe (?) the different features etc.
