That's great Fleur thanks very much for sharing the feedback. We developed SUMAC for managing cross intuitional mentoring partnerships between University of St Andrews and University of Dundee. We were finding spreadsheets of data were becoming unmanageable. In the sign up form mentioned below, we have developed some 'Free Text' boxes for qualitative questions and also included 'drop down skill sets' which help us with find the right match for our scheme members. Just by way of example, here is a link to our sign up form for the Early Career Academics' Scheme. https://sumac.ac.uk/account/university-of-st-andrews/scheme/1 If anyone is interested in finding out more about SUMAC, we have put together a number of YouTube clips.

The responses I had are below. Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond and if anyone from any other institution wishes to add to this please do contact me.
