Our research centre, SEERC, successfully organised the “Athens Social Entrepreneurship Academy” for a group of would-be social entrepreneurs from Qatar, funded by the NAMA Center for youth and entrepreneur empowerment of Qatar. The training took place on 23-27 July 2018 in Athens.
Twenty five enthusiastic participants were intensively trained on how to create, fund and sustain a start-up focusing on addressing major societal problems, visited Athenian NGOs and social enterprises and took part in their activities, discussed with VCs and CSR representatives and enjoyed Athenian hospitability and the many attractions the capital has to offer. SEERC cooperated for the implementation of the Academy with the NGO incubator HIGGS and the mentors of Innovation Farm.
