The Chamber celebrates the 15th anniversary of EYE in Kaunas
On the 10th and 11th of April, the Chamber participated in the 32nd Networking Meeting of the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme (EYE) held in Kaunas, Lithuania.
During the 2-days event, the intermediary organizations, the support office of the programme and the European Commission, had the opportunity to gather and evaluate the impact of this European initiative that celebrates 15 years in 2024.

Keynote speeches, workshops and panel discussions were organized for participants among the two days, to wrap-up with the Innovator Award Ceremony and the birthday celebration.
