The consultation meeting "From Practices with Potential to Good Practices in the area of Women's Entrepreneurship" will take place in Vilnius on 19-20 June 2014.
This meeting is organised within the framework of EIGE’s work on good practices on gender mainstreaming. The event represents a key step in EIGE’s approach to the dissemination of good practices in gender mainstreaming and the involvement of relevant stakeholders is a pillar of such an approach.
The expert meeting will provide an occasion to present some good practices identified in the area of women entrepreneurship (training, networking and funding) as well as to exchange and share experiences and approaches among stakeholders and experts.
