ECSB POST-DOCTORAL WRITING WORKSHOP (PDWW) at RENT XXVIII

University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg
www.uni.lu

November 19, 2014

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? Do you want to give a fillip to your career opting 
for the PDWW AWARD? Join us at the next RENT post-doctoral writing workshop!

The European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ECSB) is 
offering a workshop for EARLY CAREER RESEARCHERS, with preference given 
to those who have finished their PhD within the past 5 years. This 
activity has two parts: a face-to-face event that takes place a day 
before the RENT conference and an on-line follow up. The event at the 
RENT conference 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 early career researchers with 
similar interests and can find out about possibilities for research 
collaborations. The on-line follow-up has some additional rounds of 
review (with peers and seniors) 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.

ECSB will be granting the POST-DOCTORAL WRITING WORKSHOP AWARD (2nd 
edition) with the aim of promoting and rewarding high-quality research 
from early career researchers. The award winning paper will receive a 
certificate and a 400 euros award sponsored by International Small 
Business Journal (ISBJ) http://isb.sagepub.com/
The number of participants is limited to 12 researchers so we encourage 
early submission. Those attending will receive a grant of 150 euros fee 
reduction in the RENT conference. 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.rent-research.org.
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 October 1st. Researchers 
interested in participating should apply to Cristina Díaz 
(Cristina.Diaz at uclm.es) no later than July 1st, 2014.
We would encourage you to pass on this message on to anyone else who you 
know might like to apply.
