SUMMARY:RENT XXXVI Conference
DESCRIPTION:The RENT 2022 Conference Main Theme is :“Re-thinking entrepreneurship after the crisis” \nThe COVID-19 pandemic and the many lockdowns in economies worldwide create a unique situation with no documented equivalent in the entrepreneurship literature (Kraus et al.\, 2020). Nevertheless\, a body of research on entrepreneurship and crisis management (e.g.\, Cowling et al.\, 2012; Williams and Vorley\, 2015) offers two research streams in particular that could be informative about the COVID-19 pandemic. The first one deals with how start-ups respond to a crisis and refer specifically to the concept of resilience (Williams et al.\, 2017). The second research stream deals with policies and factors that might facilitate and/or hinder a startup’s survival during a crisis (e.g.\, Runyan\, 2006). \nIt is fundamental to analyze what happened in the post-pandemic\, pushing researchers to develop novel theories and approaches for a more resilient future. \nSee the pre-conference day events on https://ecsb.org/event/ecsb-pre-conference-day-at-rent-2022/

SUMMARY:ECSB Pre-conference day at RENT 2022

Participation in the events is free\, but participants need to be ECSB members or registered for the RENT conference in order to join. The number of seats is limited and registration is required (see instructions below). \nECSB Post-Doctoral Paper Development Workshop\nECSB Post-Doctoral Paper Development workshop aims to offer support for publishing for the early-career researchers. The 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 online 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 application should be sent to Cyrine Ben-Hafaïedh (c.benhafaiedh@ieseg.fr) no later than 1 October 2022 Read more: https://ecsb.org/ecsb-post-doctoral-paper-development-workshop/ \nProfessional Development Workshops (PDWs)\nPDWs are workshops to share knowledge and expertise\, and foster the practical\, professional and intellectual skills of participants.

SUMMARY:RENT XXXIV online
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID-19 the conference will take place in virtual format. \nConference theme: “Entrepreneurship in the Digital Era” \nDigital entrepreneurship is defined as creating new ventures and transforming existing businesses by developing novel digital technologies and/or adopting a novel usage of such technologies. The increasingly digitalized environment has led to a changed living situation characterized by economic growth\, job creation and innovation\, and opened new possibilities to train the next generation of entrepreneurs creating new possibilities for anyone thinking of becoming an entrepreneur. Several entrepreneurial practice and theory have recently been identified and streams of research that deal with digital entrepreneurship have been identified\, including everything that is new and different about entrepreneurship in a digital world\, as digital business models\, digital entrepreneurship process\, platform strategies\, digital ecosystem\, entrepreneurship education\, digital academic entrepreneurship and social digital entrepreneurship. With its empirical and conceptual advances\, entrepreneurship research has created an impetus that has changed a simple phenomenon into an autonomous field with its theoretical background. Join us at RENT 2020 in Naples\, in advancing the field of entrepreneurship by discussing and challenging digitalization as a cornerstone of the entrepreneurship theory. \nKEYNOTE SPEAKERS\nGabriella Colucci\, President & CEO Arterra Bioscience S.p.A.\, CEO Vitalab S.r.l.\nSatish Nambisan\, Nancy and Joseph Keithley Professor of Technology Management\, Professor of Design & Innovation\, The Weatherhead School of Management\, Case Western Reserve University \nSubmission deadline is June 17\, 2020\nCall for papers

SUMMARY:PDW: Developing Responsible and Sustainable Innovations in Entrepreneurship Education – Introducing the Sandbox Approach
DESCRIPTION:Professional Development Workshops (PDWs) are workshops to share knowledge and expertise and foster practical\, professional and intellectual skills of participants. PDWs were included in the RENT pre-conference day programme for the first time in RENT XXIX in Zagreb 2015. The concept proved to be successful and PDWs have been part of the pre-conference day since then. Due to COVID-19\, ECSB will offer to its members virtual PDWs in 2020-2021.  \nVirtual PDW: Developing Responsible and Sustainable Innovations in Entrepreneurship Education – Introducing the Sandbox Approach on 11 November 2020 (the date TBC)\nOrganisers\nVerena Meyer\, PhD Student and Research Associate\, Leuphana University of Lüneburg\, Institute of Management and Organization – verena.meyer@leuphana.de\nFlavio Pinheiro Martins\, Student at University of Sao Paulo\, School of Economics\, Business Administration and Accounting at Ribeirão Preto – fpmartins@usp.br\nProf. Dr. Markus Reihlen\, Vice President (Graduate School\, Young Academics & Entrepreneurship) and Professor of Strategic Management at Leuphana University of Lüneburg as well as International Research Fellow at the Said Business School\, University of Oxford – reihlen@leuphana.de\nFabian Pleß\, PhD Student and Research Associate\, Leuphana University of Lüneburg\, Institute of Management and Organization – fabian.pless@leuphana.de\nYasmin Azim Zadeh\, Research Associate\, Leuphana University of Lüneburg\, Cooperation and Transfer Service – azimzade@leuphana.de \nAbstract\nAs entrepreneurship educators\, we typically bring together students as entrepreneurial teams and let them work on their own ideas. But how could we get these students to tackle global challenges and develop sustainable ideas? One key mechanism is open innovation. To make use of this\, entrepreneurship education concepts need to bridge the perspectives of multiple stakeholders. Developing innovation communities within a framework of an open innovation process presents a suitable approach with a possible long-term impact in this regard. The ‘Sandbox Approach’ combines a structured open innovation process while fostering an innovation community which is enabled to solve regional challenges. In this professional development workshop\, participants will experience the ‘Sandbox Approach’ at first hand and develop comprehensive concepts for their common challenges. \nWorkshop Objectives \n\nIntroduce the Sandbox Approach\nExperience the efficiency of structured open innovation processes as well as how innovation communities function by accounting for a multitude of perspectives\nReflect on challenges that hinder innovativeness in everyday work and develop first ideas and more comprehensive solutions for these challenges\nDiscuss ideas to combine open innovation processes with innovation communities and reflecting on one’s own role within these processes/communities\nReflect on own roles as researchers and educators to foster responsible and sustainable innovation\nDiscuss the transfer of this learning experience to other contexts in which sustainable innovations within certain constraints are crucial\n\nMain audience\nThe workshop offers insights from the field of innovation to offer a broadening of perspectives. The main content of this workshop best aligns with conference tracks #2 (How to develop entrepreneurial skills? The role of education) and #7 (Entrepreneurship education\, learning\, and knowledge dissemination)\, but also strives towards an integration of concepts from tracks #16 and #17\, as social and sustainable entrepreneurship are also relevant perspectives in the workshop context. As such\, the workshop can be of interest to the broad RENT community. \n
