Empowering Women in Green Technology: Comprehensive Strategy for Integrative Advocacy and Policy Experimentation (ERASMUS-EDU-2024-POL-EXP-VET)

About the project

Women4AGreenEU is a dynamic, multi-country initiative aiming to significantly enhance the participation and success of women in the green technology sector. Over a 36-month period, this EU-funded project integrates advocacy, policy experimentation, and educational empowerment to dismantle systemic barriers hindering women’s full involvement in green tech.

Through a proposed Advocacy & Policy Innovation Ecosystem, the project promotes inclusive, scalable strategies that blend vocational education, stakeholder engagement, and systemic policy transformation.

Objectives

  • Break down systemic barriers restricting women’s entry and advancement in green tech fields.
  • Develop a comprehensive ecosystem of advocacy, policy tools, and partnerships to influence education and labor policies.
  • Create a replicable and scalable policy framework for gender inclusivity in green-skilled education and employment.
  • Foster a strong European network of VET providers, educators, government agencies, and clean tech companies to drive gender-aware transformation.
