"She decides, you succed" Project Partner Meeting

Last 23rd of October AFAEMME gathered in its headquarters in Barcelona representatives of the Centre for Inclusive Leadership (CFIL), the European Women Inventors & Innovators Network (EUWIIN) and the Association for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology (WITEC). The meeting's aim was to inform these project partners about how to correctly carry out the research about the existing situation in the five beneficiary countries (Italy, Latvia, Romania, Spain and United Kingdom) with regard to the access of women to economic decision-making positions in the middle management, in the top management, in R&D, ITC and similar firms.

The aim of the project is addressing the unequal representation of women in Boards of Directors in different areas of expertise and the lack of information on the importance and the benefits of having a greater gender-balance in economic decision-making positions.

As both private companies and the general population are generally unaware of the potential of women to participate in economic decision-making and of the loss of opportunities and talent which this attitude causes, the project will promote gender balance by convincing private companies of the benefits of facilitating women the access to economic decision-making positions.
