Since 12 till 13 November, 2019, an international training โNewcomersโ was held in Brussels (Belgium). The training was attended by representatives of the EEN-Ukraine consortium who have recently joined to Enterprise Europe Network. It was conducted in the context of a comprehensive review of the structure and principles of the Enterprise Europe Network, including its partners (EC, EASME, Network partners). The Network helps businesses innovate and grow on an international scale. It is the worldโs largest support network for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) with international ambition.

Network experts told the new project participants in detail about the features of the network as a system and about the cooperation between its participants from almost 70 countries.

The session also included questions about contractual relations of the system; networked IT tools; multicultural communication, namely, discussion of cultural differences, stereotypes, etc.
In addition to providing a wealth of professional advice and guidance, this training provided a brilliant opportunity to meet new friends and make new contacts with Enterprise Europe Network colleagues.
