European Innovation Council (EIC): EIC Women Leadership Programme

To support the role of women in innovation and tech, the European Innovation Council (EIC), in partnership with the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), offers a skills enhancement and networking programme for women researchers and entrepreneurs, the EIC Women Leadership Programme.    

The programme is open to women researchers, aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs from the EIC and EIT Communities.  Each cohort consists of both virtual and in-person training sessions, led by high-profile experienced trainers who challenge participants’ leadership approaches with inspiring case studies and use participatory approaches to encourage active engagement. Participants benefit from individual coaching and personal mentoring. Through dedicated networking events, they also engage with peers and inspiring role models.

The 7th EIC WLP cohort, starting in February 2025, is specifically designed for researchers and entrepreneurs in early-stage ventures.

Application deadline: December 15, 2024.
