News archive - [Call for Proposals] for ERASMUS for Young Entrepreneurs

This call for proposals aims to help new entrepreneurs in Europe to enrich their experiences and to learn and network with experienced entrepreneurs. New entrepreneurs will spend some time in enterprises run by experienced entrepreneurs in other EU Member States and in other countries participating in the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme. The overall objective of the Programme is to enhance the entrepreneurship, internationalisation and competitiveness of potential start-up entrepreneurs and of those running newly established micro and small enterprises in the EU and CIP participating countries. Deadline for this call for Proposals is May 31, 2012.

By awarding grants to promote the mobility of new entrepreneurs, the Commission’s specific objectives are:

  • To provide on-the-job-training for new entrepreneurs in small and medium-sized enterprises elsewhere in the Participating Countries in order to facilitate a successful start-up, and development of their business ideas;
  • To foster sharing of experience and information between entrepreneurs on the obstacles and challenges of starting up and developing their businesses;
  • To enhance market access and identification of potential partners for new and established businesses in other EU and Participating Countries;
  • To support networking between entrepreneurs from different Participating Countries by building on knowledge and experience from other Participating Countries.
