CALL FOR PAPERS

Policy, research, and practice are on the table for discussion with the goal of building a common narrative to help entrepreneurs and small business owners in Europe that face unique challenges. The format for this meeting will allow for a dynamic debate with those presenting and those who plan on attending the sessions.

What are the lessons that can be learned from this? Where should Policymakers focus their attention to create a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem? What collaborations to give hope to those in the margins of society? These are many other topics are welcomed for discussion.

Following this point of view, we invite authors to submit abstracts reflecting the multiple aspects, actors, levels, and complexity on what can be done to get a more accurate view of entrepreneurship. What should be the Future of Entrepreneurship: Policy and Practice?
