• FP6's WE-Mentor Project at MIGAL
  
  

  MIGAL has recently begun a project that is funded by the FP6 programme of the European Commission, called WE-Mentor. WE-Mentor will motivate women entrepreneurs to participate submitting proposals to FP7.

  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 even truer 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 is building on a partnership of 10 EU member states organised in the consortium of the recently completed project “WomEn2FP6”. Four EU Member states (Belgium, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom) take the lead to mentor 4 “new - comers” to the topic of integrating women entrepreneurs into European Research (India, Israel, Romania and Turkey).
