E&I Seminar series – Entrepreneurial Behaviour and Well-being: Challenges and Drivers
Online webinar: December 11th, 2025, 17.00h-19.00h (CET. UTC+1)

We are delighted to host a seminar on the intersection of entrepreneurial activity and personal well-being, organized by the E&I Research Group and the IUSEN Institute of
Economy and Business, at the University of Seville.

Entrepreneurship role in innovation and economic activity is often celebrated. However, beneath the narratives of success and ambition, entrepreneurial activity is often characterized by substantial time pressure, long hours, financial uncertainty, and emotional involvement in the venture. Under this pressure, the entrepreneurs’ personal well-being —the presence of positive experiences and absence of negative experiences associated with running an entrepreneurial venture— may be affected. The entrepreneurs’ wellbeing can help them persist in the face of difficulties. Therefore, understanding the challenges and drivers of entrepreneurial well-being and burnout is highly relevant for researchers, policymakers, and, most importantly, for
those aspiring to or currently running their own businesses. The seminar brings two world-leading experts to explore this vital intersection.
