By bringing together invited experts, researchers, students and participants from the ecosystem of innovation in the partner universities, we aim to accomplish the following ambitions:
- To provide a better understanding of key challenges in supporting female innovators and entrepreneurs in and around universities, and to share ideas about good practices in supporting entrepreneurship among female academics, students, and alumni.
- To jointly develop a research agenda for Circle U. research and development work on female entrepreneurship and student innovation.
The workshop is organised by Professor Taran Thune, academic chair at the University of Oslo and Professor Amélie Jacquemin, academic chair at Université Catholique de Louvain.
Registration deadline: 10 September 2022
