WomEn2FP6 - Enterprising Women into European Research
Country Region Start Finish
EU EU 2004 2006
The starting point of the WomEn2FP6 project – Enterprising Women into European Research (FP6) - was the realisation that women entrepreneurs very often are not aware of the possibilities offered by the 6th Framework Programme (FP6) and that almost none of them participate in transnational cooperation. Whereas women are heading almost 30 percent of the 18 million SMEs in Europe, they are managing only 6 percent of the European research projects for SMEs. This had been cause and motivation for the creation of the European project WomEn2FP6, which aimed at integrating women entrepreneurs in European research projects.

WE-Mentor - Enterprising Women in European Research
Country Region Start Finish
EU EU 2006 2009
Women entrepreneurs are of high importance for economic and regional development. They are active in research and development. However their participation level in European research projects and trans-national co-operation is low. This is if 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). WE-Mentor (Enterprising Women in European Research Mentoring India, Israel, Romania and Turkey) has been building on a partnership of 10 EU member states organised in the consortium of the previous project WomEn2FP6 (www.women2fp6.net). Four EU Member states (Belgium, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom) took the lead to mentor 4 “newcomers” to the topic of integrating women entrepreneurs into European Research (Romania, Turkey, Israel and India). The programme has been coordinated by Steinbeis-Europa-Zentrum.
