LUMSA University, a partner in the EU-funded INVESTMED project consortium, is recruiting a Research Fellow to support the implementation of project activities. 

The project aims to create a favourable environment for recently established start-ups and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Egypt, Lebanon and Tunisia, so that they can respond effectively to regional challenges, in particular the high levels of unemployment among young people and women. The project delivers capacity buliding, coaching, campaigns for the protection of intellectual property, and direct financial support, all aiming to facilitate access to risk capital and new markets for high-potential entrepreneurs. 

The Research Fellow will be responsible for monitoring the project and coordinating activities including the Sustainable Business Management training course, entrepreneurship summer school, communications and dissemination of results, and project reporting. 

For full details, criteria, and how to apply, please read the attached call documents or visit LUMSA's website. 

The deadline for applications is 11 August 2022 at 24:00 CET.
