CONFERENCE: 7-8 October
The conference’s focus is on contextual influences on the process of entrepreneurship by individuals. Entrepreneurship does not take place in a vacuum. Specific contexts shape individual’s entrepreneurial behaviors, their entrepreneurial attitudes, activities, and aspirations. Contextual influences on entrepreneurial behaviors encompass social, cultural, and economic influences, and they may operate at multiple different levels: e.g., locality, region, or country. Of particular interest is the appreciation of contextual influences on entrepreneurial activities in developing and emerging economies. All accepted submissions will use GEM data, preferably individual level GEM data combined with other data sources.
DOCTORAL WORKSHOP: 6 October
Doctoral students who are using, or intend to use GEM data, are warmly invited to participate in the GEM Doctoral Workshop with contributions from several experienced GEM researchers before attending the conference. Students will get the opportunity to present their research (plans) and get useful feedback from experienced GEM researchers.
