The objective of the FungiPreneurs project is to support the social inclusion of vulnerable groups in rural areas through environmental awareness about the importance of fungi for the ecosystems and the marketable value of mycological resources, promoting behaviour change, green skills development and responsible and sustainable social entrepreneurship.

The project features a fantastic consortium, with partners from ECM Ingenieria Ambiental (Spain), Disruptia (Spain), META4 (Austria), Mindshift – Talent Advisory (Portugal), and Centre For Social Innovation – CSI (Cyprus)

The partners of Fungipreneurs held their 4th international meeting during Aprilin Klagenfurt, Austria.

The purpose of meeting was to understand and agreeing the next steps on the relevant WPs (primarily WP3 & WP4), along with the relevant timelines and steps for same – as well as the piloting, exploitation and sustainability strategies.

Based on the evaluation feedback from the meeting, INQS – as the evaluation partner – can attest that the project meeting appears to have been extremely successful with all partners providing positive answers in relation to the meeting in a general sense, in relation to the organisation and running of the meeting and in relation to the division of tasks post-meeting.

We look forward to meeting our friends and colleagues in the next Fungipreneurs meeting, to take place in Athens, Greece in July 2024.
