The kick-off meeting was held in Granada during October 2022. The predominant objective was to discuss the ultimate content of the working packages. Every partner introduced their institution, with an emphasis on its start-up ecosystem and its efforts in supporting international or refugee students and female empowerment. Additionally, there were deliberations covering administrative and management issues. 

For the second transnational meeting, the three partner universities met in Cologne in May 2023. The main objective was to develop the questionnaires, in addition to visiting the Gateway Exzellenz Start-Up Centre and meeting the start-up Socialbnb.
