Objective: To look at women entrepreneurs and their contribution to H&T. To identify the gap between education and industry, and co-develop possible solutions to support future female entrepreneurs. To create knowledge exchange and experience sharing opportunities for practitioners in H&T sectors"

The symposium builds up on work undertaken by the GESPi research center at the University of Surrey. It aims to present collaborative research between SHTM at the University of Surrey, H&T organizations and social enterprises seeking to advance knowledge whilst influencing social change and enabling inclusive policy development. The research focus on gender and entrepreneurial opportunities intends to inspire and prepare the next generation of female entrepreneurs as they rise through the challenges post pandemic.

This is a timely topic both in terms of innovations in enterprise in H&T (advances in technology, focus on community and suitability initiatives, new business models through and post pandemic) as well as conversations around EDI (inclusive education and workspaces, supporting female participation and progression in H&T careers). It is also an apt forum to raise awareness among the members of EuroCHRIE on gender equality issues through discussions between industry and academia and how we can come together to shape the future of H&T enterprise through education.
