• Be firmly planning to start your own business, supported by a viable business plan, or have less than three years of entrepreneurial experience when registering for the programme.
• Have permanent residence in an eligible participating country other than Spain, because this opportunity involves a cross-border exchange in Barcelona.
• Demonstrate a genuine entrepreneurial project and explain how the exchange will help you develop it.
• Meet the programme’s application requirements and obtain approval through the relevant intermediary organisation.
• Be willing and able to cover any costs that exceed the programme’s financial contribution. Being a student does not, by itself, establish eligibility: you must also meet the entrepreneurial requirements. Eligibility is based on the programme’s residence rules, not simply on your passport or nationality. Who we are looking forWe are particularly interested in applicants who can demonstrate:
• Hands-on experience organising events, workshops, meetups, student activities or professional communities.
• Practical knowledge of ticketing, registration pages, attendee communications and event logistics.
• The ability to research venues, contact speakers and follow through professionally.
• Experience working with students, universities, professors, founders or technology communities.
• Clear written and spoken English; Spanish or Catalan is an advantage.
• Strong organisation, reliability and confidence communicating with different stakeholders.
• A clear connection between this exchange and their own entrepreneurial ambitions. You do not need to have built a large events business already. However, you must show what you have personally done, what you can contribute and what you want to learn. Financial support and personal expensesEligible participants may receive a monthly Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs contribution towards travel and subsistence costs.
