„ERASMUS for Young Entrepreneurs“ is launched in Berlin/Brandenburg

Learn to cook Italian meals, discover the secrets behind Scandinavian furniture construction, engage in exchanges with eco-farmers in South Tirol, draw inspiration from the creativity of designers in London and Barcelona – and receive a grant at the same time! 

All this is possible now. The programme ERASMUS for Young Entrepreneurs will soon start promoting exchanges for entrepreneurs and business-founders in Berlin and Brandenburg.

In the process, young entrepreneurs can gather experience at companies throughout Europe and establish contacts at the same time. ERASMUS is open to all branches, including enterprise-founders in the areas of trades and handicrafts, tourism and catering, universities and technology-oriented schemes, was well as the creative industries.

The aim of a placement is to acquire impulses, ideas and new perspectives for your own enterprise and  to establish contacts with other enterprises located in Europe. A placement can last up to six months.

Young entrepreneurs participating in the European ERASMUS programme are entitled to a grant of up to 1,100 Euro per month for duration of their placement.

“ERASMUS for Young Entrepreneurs Berlin/Brandenburg” starts on 1 February 2013 and will initially be running until the end of 2014. During this period, 40 placements are planned for Europe, plus a further 35 placements for entrepreneurs from other European countries.
