Workshop 7 (26 and 28 September 2023)
Workshop 7 hosted 68 participants from 29 countries. The online workshop was designed to enable mentors to exchange experiences and best practices on the topics of conflict resolution, mediation, and IP rights protection. These were the most popularly requested topics by mentors in the survey organized held in the fifth Workshop. The EWEMA gave participants the much-needed opportunity to tackle hands on three real case studies, each one more difficult than the other. All participants were asked to propose the action plans to solve the cases related to the topics presented. And to crown the event, exciting news about an emerging Community of Practice for early warning mentors, was revealed and outlined to the audience. The planned CoP is intended to link the community of mentors to the wider community of business support agencies at national and European levels. Participants were given the exclusive chance to express their expectations of such a CoP, and the EWEMA took careful note of these. Stay tuned!
