EAE Women Initiative

Made by Women for Everyone

Your determination is a source of inspiration for ours

Our challenge is to run a sustainable organisation that supports the global and continuous professional development of women and we make it happen through a community that fosters education and knowledge in order to promote equal opportunities and bring about the change that society today is calling for.

Women Initiative

“At EAE, we work to guarantee equal opportunities — diversity is one of the core values of our school and our commitment to the professional development of women, a priority.”

AROA CORVILLO CALZADA

What We Do:

We create a space for dialogue where we share and exchange knowledge on the evolution of women’s leadership in businesses.
We make women’s networking more dynamic through events and campaigns that foster inclusion and diversity.
We support women’s leadership through mentoring services that motivate our current and future candidates before, during and after the EAE experience.
We arrange meetings with leaders from organisations, faculty and companies that inspire the professional development of women, no matter their area of expertise or the point they may be in life.

It’s been a long way,

and there’s still much more to go.

Women: A Global Perspective 2020

Author: Cristina Ruiz Gutiérrez

EAE Business School has published the study: “Women: A Global Perspective 2020. Report on Gender Equality in Europe, Latin America and Spain”. This study shows the long way to go in order to reach real equality between men and women, presenting alarming numbers regarding hours worked but nor paid, women in the tech industry and differences in leadership positions between men and women. Lastly, it presents the number of women entrepreneurs in the different countries and the reasons behind this phenomenon.

Schneider’s Woman Director Scholarship

The goal of this scholarship, that supports talent in the classroom taking into account both the academic record and the managerial and leading potential of those women who apply for it, is to foster gender equality, boost those sectors that have less visibility in the company, promote entrepreneurship to make the business fabric more dynamic and to create value in society.

Entrepreneur Scholarship

This scholarship, that is aimed at SMEs, freelancers and professionals with a business project, is aimed at fostering the entrepreneurial spirit and good business ideas from those students that created a company and need a little push to develop an activity as passionate, demanding and creative as embarking on a personal project.
