A doctoral and early career colloquium on conducting and publishing research in Entrepreneurship and Innovation with Paper Development Workshop
The two-day colloquium is organised to discuss the diverse facets of doctoral and post-doctoral career and the different possibilities for carrying out empirical research in entrepreneurship and innovation. The colloquium is free of charge and bursaries are available thanks to the generous support of external funders.
The colloquium is aimed for management and organisation doctoral students and early career researchers (ECRs) in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation interested in systematic and bibliometric approaches for literature reviews, qualitative, quantitative and mixed methodologies. Preferably, the participants will have completed at least one year of their doctoral study or have been able to progress far enough with their research to have crafted a well-structured proposal or a paper contemplating their preliminary findings. Albeit we also are keen to invite ECRs and close to completion doctoral students that are currently working on a paper that is in need of development.
By participating, researchers will be able to receive individual mentorship and advices for the successful publication journey of their research. Each participant will be matched with a senior scholar who is an active editor or associate editor of an internationally recognised journal (see below for details of outlets – CABS 3 and 2).
The best works will be invited for submission to Strategic Change (CABS 2) or Journal of Enterprising Communities (CABS 1) and access a fast-track peer-review process.
