❓ Why do we do what we do at The CABLE Project?
Mentoring matters, even more so in academic and industrial research, a field with high barriers for entry and a huge socio-economic divide in opportunities.

That's why we are building a mentorship platform to connect undergraduates with postgraduates through fully-facilitated research mentorship programmes, with the aim of breaking barriers to postgraduate education, one at a time. We help undergraduates access opportunities, role models, and the knowledge they need to get into research.
