The workshop was led by the accredited mentor educator Tonči Rezić, Associate Professor, PhD from the Faculty of Food and Biotechnology, University of Zagreb.

Mentors at the post-graduate university (doctoral) study "Agricultural Sciences" worked in groups and gave possible solutions to the difficulties that are most often encountered in practice.

Also, interviews were conducted in pairs related to the mentor's and doctoral student's expectations, as well as a discussion about the mentor's desirable and undesirable qualities.
