EYE or Erasmus for Young entrepreneurs is the European exchange programme for entrepreneurs. EYE is a cross-border exchange programme which gives new or aspiring entrepreneurs the chance to learn from experienced entrepreneurs running small businesses in other participating countries. This is a funded programme.

The exchange of experience takes place during a stay with the experienced entrepreneur, which helps the new entrepreneur acquire the skills needed to run a small firm. The host benefits from fresh perspectives on his/her business and gets the opportunities to cooperate with foreign partners or learn about new markets. Maria Deady of Dublin Chamber of Commerce and Manuel Villagran are the local contacts for the EYE programme in Ireland and Ellen Gunning has acted as a host for visiting EYE participants.
