WeRin

A pioneering European initiative, WeRin brings together 14 partners from 6 countries. Funded by the ERASMUS+ Knowledge Alliance programme for a three-year timeframe, WeRin partners have ambitious plans to enhance the inclusivity of regional entrepreneurial ecosystems and embeddedness of female entrepreneurs therein, through the design of more inclusive academic and non-academic entrepreneurship education and support programmes. It is an exciting time to put the spotlight on increasing the share of female graduate entrepreneurs. WeRin provides great opportunities for educators, policymakers, funding bodies and those working to increase the number of female entrepreneurs. Over the next three years, we will highlight good practices in the region, carry out a regional analysis of gender inclusivity and organise many events including, international capacity building sessions and communities of practice. WeRin has very tangible targets and is committed to making an impact. We aim to increase share female participation in entrepreneurship education by 15% and in entrepreneurship support programmes by 20% of consortium partners three years after completion of the project. Our project title could not be more appropriate – WeRin is a statement of intent.
