Have you recently finished your PhD Thesis in entrepreneurship and the small business field and are now wondering what’s coming next? Do you want to learn more about publishing your research? Do you need advice on your latest research proposal or an article you are working on? Do you want to set up (international) research collaborations, and are looking for collaborators? 

Join us at the next RENT post-doctoral writing workshop!

The European Council form Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ECSB) is offering a workshop for post doc researchers who have finished their PhD within the past 5 years. The day starts with a roundtable discussion on the challenges in getting published, in building up your own research portfolio and in combining teaching and research. After that, you will break out in small groups and get your paper discussed by senior researchers and peers in the group. You also will meet other post-doc researchers with similar interests and can find out about possibilities for research collaborations. The face-to-face discussion will have an on-line follow-up with additional rounds of review aimed at helping you to develop a working paper into a submission ready for referred, high quality journals. 

The event has a non-archival policy, in order to avoid copyrights restrictions or conflict with other archival publication venues.

Researchers interested in participating should apply to Cristina Díaz (Cristina.Diaz at uclm.es) no later than June 1, 2012. The number of participants is limited to 12 researchers so we encourage early submission.
The application should include a one-page CV, the abstract of the paper and a cover letter (describing the motivation to attend, a short description of the research interests as well as specific issues about research or particular challenges faced earlier in your career and that would like to discuss). You will be notified of acceptance within two weeks after submission closes and you will be given an acceptance letter of inclusion of your paper in the PDWW within the RENT Conference. The submission of the final paper is due for September 1st.

No fee is charged for participation in this workshop. However, participation in the RENT Conference is compulsory. The fee for the RENT also includes one year’s membership to the ECSB. For more information regarding the RENT conference see www.ecsb.org.
