1) a better understanding of women’s specific needs and skills gap on the one hand, and cultural and institutional barriers on the other, which together contribute to gender inequality;

2) empowering women with the necessary tools and opportunities to increase their professional potential;

3) improving the socio-economic development of peripheral industrial regions throughout the Danube Region;

4) more effective policy-making at different spatial levels that can adopt more inclusive measures and practices, bringing down institutional barriers.
