Tasks & responsibilities

• Develop a business plan and a work/learning project for their stay abroad, including work on real-life business tasks;

• Sign a “Commitment to Quality” governing the working relationship between the NE, the HE and the IOs;

• Sign an agreement with the responsible IO specifying the tasks, responsibilities, financial conditions and legal implications of the project within the agreed timetable;

• Submit an activity report on completion of the stay abroad describing the work performed, the skills and knowledge acquired and what the NE has learned for the development of his/her own business;

• Complete a satisfaction questionnaire towards the end of the pilot project phase (i.e. July 2010). The purpose of this survey is to assess the results and impact of the initiative and to make recommendations for a future, continuous programme;

• Act as an “Ambassador” for Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs and contribute to establishing a network of NEs.

NEs have to fulfil the tasks and responsibilities assigned to them in the agreement to be signed with the IOs responsible before the start of their stay abroad. Payment of the EU funding will depend on the NE delivering the business/work/learning plan and outputs as well as on final acceptance of their activity reports by the IO responsible. NEs must ensure that their working relationship with the HE and the IO is of high quality in every aspect.
