Title : JASS - Joint Analysis and Strategy for Self-Employment for Women with Technical and Scientific Education
Contractor : WiTEC Germany
Duration : 1997 -2000
Funding Body : Leonardo da Vinci, European Commission
Details - Summary : The main aim of the JASS Research was to gain a greater understanding of the ideal conditions for women to set up their own businesses in SET. Women who had successfully established their own business in SET completed questionnaires to provide information regarding the conditions they felt necessary to start up in business and to highlight any barriers they had faced. In addition, women students in SET completed questionnaires to gauge their interest in setting up in business following their course.

The project investigated the reasons why fewer women decide to establish their own business in non traditional fields of employment. The results of the project formed a report which is used to help improve the self-employment prospects for women entrepreneurs by providing information and advice on good practice
Countries involved : Germany, UK, Belgium, Spain, Netherlands and Sweden
