Call for Abstracts
Presenting one’s research and receiving feedback on it is important for advancing in research. The ECSB organizes annually two conferences – the RENT Research in Entrepreneurship and Small Business together with EIASM and the 3E – ECSB Entrepreneurship Education Conference. However, we understand that attending conferences in person is not always an option for all. For this reason, ECSB launches a new initiative – ECSB Conference Goes Online. The first edition will be held on February 12th, 2025 between 1pm and 5 pm (CET).
We are honoured to present Professor Robert Blackburn from University of Liverpool Management School as the Keynote Speaker for this 1st event. Professor Blackburn will give a keynote entitled “Young People & Entrepreneurship: precarious futures or routes to fulfilment?”
Presenting at the ECSB Conference Goes Online will be free-of-charge for existing ECSB members. For this inaugural event we will accept approx. 12-16 presentations in the programme for the ECSB Conference Goes Online. In the selection a priority will be given to those authors who have not had their paper presented in the previous 3E or RENT conferences (in 3E2024 or RENT2024).
How to join ECSB Conference goes Online?
Submit your abstract (900 words) to ecsbonline@utu.fi by 9 December. In the e-mail include also 1-2 sentences why you are interested in presenting at this online conference.
All abstracts will be reviewed. Feedback and decisions will be sent by the end of December at the latest. There is no full paper submission for the event but each presenter will be appointed a discussant to kick-off the discussion in the session.
Accepted presenters need to register for the conference and agree to present their paper on 12 February 2025 in a slot between 1pm and 5 pm (CET).
