Abstract
This is a toolkit on self-tailored gendered sensitive mentoring program that should support preventive actions in order to lower the gendered gaps in academia. We used the framework of transformative mentoring, with the aim at transforming the person on the one hand (socialization through a process of adaptation to the structural functioning of an organization) and of the organization on the other hand, in view of a system that is more adapted to the rhythm of the researchers, whatever may be their gender, and of a better adaptation to their articulation of private and professional life. Mentoring then intervenes as a tool for change, not only focussed upon targeting gender inequality in the long-term sense, but also of being able to create in more immediate terms, a more gender sensitive, reflexive and conscientious research/academic work environment.
