MOTIVATE women entrepreneurs to participate in European projects

Women entrepreneurs are of high importance for economic and regional development. They are active in research and development, however their participation level in Euro pean research projects and trans-national co-operation is low. This is even more true for women-owned businesses. Part of the problem is that women entrepreneurs are not reached by the mainstream information and support schemes for European Research and Technological Development (EU RTD).
