BackExperts discussion on how to promote women scientists to start a business has been organized in Riga, Latvia on 14 June 2007 by the Banking Institution of Higher Education.
The aim of the discussion was to initiate a debate on this issue by inviting experts from public, administrative and science sectors and to identify the main topics and potential speakers for the 4th FemStart event to be organized in Riga, Latvia 17-18 January 2008.
Participants from ministries, universities, research institutions and female scientists discussed on how to encourage women scientists to think about an entrepreneurial career, expressed the need for specific support actions, shared experiences of good examples on how women scientists have successfully started a business.
The main results and experiences gathered within the first two FemStart conferences in Stuttgart and Valencia were presented and discussed.
The good practices, ideas and contacts gained during the discussion will give the better insight of issues to be debated during the coming FemStart event in Riga.
