Midden in de Global Entrepreneurship Week organiseert het Ministerie van Economische Zaken samen met Inscope, DARE en Utrecht Center for Entrepreneurship het congres dat gaat over het verbinden van onderzoek en praktijk in het ondernemerschapsdomein. Wie geïnteresseerd is in hoe we door betere afstemming tot voor de praktijk relevant onderzoek kunnen komen moet zeker meedoen want er is alle ruimte voor je eigen inbreng.

This year’s Global Entrepreneurship Week NL introduces the conference Engaged Entrepreneurship Research to build bridges between entrepreneurship research, policy practice and entrepreneurial (collective) action. In this conference we will discuss how research and practice can be connected in fruitful ways, starring keynote speaker Prof Andrew van de Ven (Minnesota University), a world leading expert on both entrepreneurship research and engaged scholarship.

In addition, there are two workshops that focus on particular themes: entrepreneurial ecosystems and intrapreneurship. The conference finishes with a round table, involving all stakeholders in the debate. Lunch is included.

Note:Please do not forget to take your identity card with you to the entrance of the conference venue
