WOMEN IN BUSINESS Fostering the Young Women Entrepreneurship in the Danube Region

Good practices database

The Good Practices Database is developed following the methodology of WOMEN IN BUSINESS project for analyzing, selecting, describing and evaluating of Good Practices (GPs).

WOMEN IN BUSINESS aims to develop, through a mutual learning process, innovative training models which will be the main tool for fostering young women entrepreneurship (YWE) and will be the main part of the Women Entrepreneurship Centers.  On the other hand, the validated GPs will serve as a ground for development of the Policy Agenda with policy recommendations.

The Database outlines the methodology followed by all PPs for identification, selection and describing of GPs for YWE support in the 9 PPs countries - Austria, Bosna and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Moldova, Romania and Slovenia. It provides a short description of all 43 GPs for YWE support evaluated by project partners (PPs).

The GPs are listed below per country in alphabetical order and per internal numbering defined per each country.

The GPs for supporting of YWE are identified based of jointly defined criteria. At the same time during the learning events an insight of selected GPs is gained. The best of them are validated during the transnational project events and will be included in the GPs Handbook.
