Keywords:
entrepreneurship, Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs, EUAbstract
The Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme (EYE), part of the larger context of the European Single Market bringing a series of opportunities to the SME sector, was launched by the European Commission in 2008 with the stated purpose to develop and strengthen the culture and spirit of entrepreneurship in the EU member states. This study contains an analysis of the effects the programme has had on entrepreneurship in terms of achieved objectives, benefits brought to entrepreneurs following their participation in the programme and processes facilitated by the programme.
