Sara Dolnicar is a Research Professor of Tourism at The University of Queensland. She is deeply committed to mentoring early career researchers and has developed many innovative ways of doing so. One of the schemes she has introduced at The University of Queensland is the so-called RESEARCH OPEN ROOM. While her room is always open to students and colleagues, Sara - once a month – invited research students and colleagues to drop in and ask research-related question. This has developed into a highly successful collective research mentoring scheme, a platform for deep and meaningful conversations about academia. In an attempt to broader accessibility, AIEST initiated the Buddy Network, an online platform where early career researchers who are members of AIEST can post questions. Sara responds to those questions wherever possible. When she does not feel qualified, she asks a qualified colleague to respond.
