Program with papers – (also pdf)
Eu-SPRI Early Career Researcher Conference will take place at Ancona, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Italy, on 21-23 May 2014. The conference offers three days of plenaries, presentations and intense discussions between senior and junior scholars on the state-of-art of entrepreneurship studies especially focusing on the role of entrepreneurship in help solving societal challenges.
The Conference will embrace different forms of entrepreneurship aimed at solving societal challenges (e.g. social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship aimed at facing environmental issues, entrepreneurship in public administrations or institution) with the objective of providing the locus of debate for scholars and policy makers. The goal is to improve our understanding of the processes behind these forms of entrepreneurship and to inform policy makers on how to support it.
Among the topics worthy of exploration are, by way of example:
Audience: The workshop is aimed at a selected group of scholars (25-35 participants). Participation from scholars at the Assistant Professor level, at the post-doc or at early stages of their career is particularly encouraged. PhD candidates at the final stage of their dissertation are also encouraged to attend. Selection will be based upon presentation of a full paper or an extended abstract, as well as a CV (for PhD candidates). A selected group of delegates from companies, policy agencies (e.g. EU Commission, government and government agencies, …), delegates from ONGs and non-profit organizations will also be invited to participate in order to favor networking and exchange of ideas.
