| Summary: | Mentoring programmes have been accused of inadequately addressing organisations' gendered cultures. In reaction to this, mentoring approaches started applying a dual focus, i. e. targetting both individual development and organisational change. This paper explores - through the lens of the 'bifocal approach' - whether and how two Swiss academic mentoring programmes for female advanced doctoral students and early postdoctoral scholars have adopted a a dual focus. The paper shows that the programmes have developed strategies adopting this approach to a certain extent and discusses the challenges and opportunities experienced.
