       About the Workshop
The aim of the workshop is to bring together leading scholars and emerging researchers working on topics related to entrepreneurship research. We invite contributions from various interdisciplinary backgrounds, as well as theoretical, empirical, laboratory, and field experiment-based research. This year's workshop will focus on entrepreneurship in developed and developing economies and will be held at the Georgetown Center for Economic Research (GCER) in Washington D.C. The workshop will be followed by a policy panel on "Entrepreneurship in Developing Economies" on Thursday evening to which all participants are invited to attend.  
 
            Funding
Those authors who are invited to present are expected to participate in the entire 2-day meeting. Economy class airfares and 3 nights of lodging for presenting authors and discussants will be covered according to the standard IZA travel guidelines (for international attendees) and Kauffman travel guidelines (for domestic/US attendees). 

Kindly note that tax regulations prohibit IZA from fully reimbursing the travel expenses of conference participants who combine their trip with other destinations or extend their stay beyond the four-day window surrounding the event. Those with questions or concerns should contact IZA event manager Viola Hartmann (hartmann at iza.org) in advance. 

2.     Call for Proposals - Future Trends in Entrepreneurship: Millennial and Boomer Entrepreneurship The Kauffman Foundation is soliciting grant proposals to investigate trends specific to Millennials and Baby Boomers as it relates to entrepreneurship. We welcome research proposals dedicated to an individual topic, as well as multi-disciplinary and holistic study. Policy oriented research proposals are particularly encouraged. As a part of the 2015 State of Entrepreneurship report and February 11, 2015 event, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation has chosen to highlight trends in two particular demographic groups as a means of exploring future potential directions for entrepreneurship in the United States in 2020 - Millennials and Baby Boomers. Millennials have been showing declining rates of entrepreneurship in many recent national studies, but are in other ways America's most entrepreneurially-exposed generation. Baby Boomers have been prolific entrepreneurial contributors, but are entering traditional ages for retirement.

Deadline for submissions: April 17, 2015, 5:00pm CST.
