Our Participants
The programme is open to women connected to rural areas in the EU, whether it be through their residence or family background. While they will come from diverse backgrounds, they will all share a strong interest in leveraging new technologies and innovation to create a positive impact and foster economic growth in their region.
We are looking for women who want to make a difference – whether they are specialists in agriculture, engineering, or eco-tourism, and whether they aspire to be disruptive innovators, businesswomen or digital nomads. The programme welcomes every background and is tailored to helping participants acquire the skills needed to lead Europe’s rural areas into the forefront of the digital revolution.
Participants are selected by an expert jury that looks for well-rounded candidates with a demonstrable track record in driving forward new ideas and seizing opportunities in their rural communities, or strong willingness to do so. The Jury will be interested in applicants’ future plans and ambitions, and in their curiosity to better understand the potential of technology in driving equality and opportunity in their area.
The selected candidates receive a full scholarship that covers all costs of the programme, including travel. This ensures an equal opportunity for everyone.
