Frequently asked questions
About the EIC Women Leadership Programme (EIC WLP):
What type of support will I receive?
The EIC WLP offers a skills enhancement programme comprising training events tailored to your needs; networking events to leverage on the EIC Community and expand your network; a personal mentorship scheme and a business coaching scheme that will give you the necessary tools to solve specific challenges you are currently facing.
What skills will I obtain during the programme?
The programme will offer a catalogue of profile-based and tailored training sessions for participants to select from and to learn, for example, how to set up and grow a business, scout for and negotiate with partners, pitch in front of investors, etc. Specialised training sessions will be offered to women who are considering creating a business around their research and the ones who are already active in the entrepreneurial world. The skills will be further developed during the exchanges with personal mentors and coaches.
What will I gain during the mentorship scheme?
Each participant will have the opportunity to work with personal mentors – experienced entrepreneurs, investors, innovators and senior managers who will share their extensive managerial experience and provide access to their diverse professional networks. Personal Mentors will help participants define their career path, overcome the existing personal challenges and set the next steps to improve their careers.
When and how will the EIC WLP be implemented?
The programme will be carried out between April, May and June 2023. Your participation in the EIC WLP will require attendance to at least 75% of the training sessions, in addition to interaction with your Personal Mentor and Business Coach. The programme will count with both in person sessions (in Brussels) and online events.
What are my obligations as regards to the participation in the programme?
The participation in the official kick-off meetiong the programme on 4 April 2023 and in the awarding ceremony is mandatory. For all other events, we expect participants to participate in at least 75% of the schedule sessions .
The mandatory events are important steps that will mark your participation in the EIC Women Leadership Programme, so you should really strive to be present. If that isn’t possible, please inform the organisation as soon as you can.
