Objective

Aim

The project's aim was to develop a common approach across European countries, capitalising on each country's respective experience and proposing a training model for entrepreneurship specially designed for women. In concrete terms, this involved offering female students who wanted it the opportunity to incorporate business creation when considering their career development and to develop and stimulate their capacity to create a company.

Outcomes 

The project's final product is a European portal to female entrepreneurship. This portal gives access to detailed information about the situation of female entrepreneurs in the various countries, support networks and bodies, as well as existing training programmes.
