IECER 2023

Dear IECER friends, 
dear researchers

From Creative to Circular Entrepreneurship: An Innovative Stairway to Heaven

The 21st IECER Conference will take place from October 25-27, 2023 at the University of Beira Interior in Covilhã, Portugal under the theme: “From Creative to Circular Entrepreneurship: An Innovative Stairway to Heaven”. 
This year we want to build a bridge between creative and circular entrepreneurship, to bring together young and senior researchers addressing entrepreneurship, making use of eclectic approaches, and combining different scientific areas and distinct geographical origins, at the international level. Starting from creativity towards entrepreneurship, with the aim of strengthening the innovation capacity of nations, regions, established companies and startups, involves embodying creativity with new circular approaches oriented towards efficiency, flexibility, productivity, and sustainability. Traditional activities, crafts, culture, natural resources, and intellectual capital (e.g., human, social and organisational) embedded in regions, cities, and knowledge engines: universities; international and national science and technology systems; governance systems; and entrepreneurial, innovative, and sustainable ecosystems; play an important role to be explored in the dynamic framework of creative and circular entrepreneurship.

This year IECER will be hosted at Covilhã, UNESCO Creative City - a traditionally creative and manufacturing city, which is evolving to a circular knowledge-based pathway - in the Beiras and Serra da Estrela Region, Portugal, in collaboration with the University of Beira Interior (UBI) and the Business Sciences Research Unit (NECE). 

Check out our tracks and call for papers by April 1st and see you all in Covilhã!

ABOUT THE IECER CONFERENCE

The Interdisciplinary European Conference on Entrepreneurship Research IECER is an annual international conference on entrepreneurship topics attracting scholars and delegates from academia, business and government officials from around the world. Founded in 2003 by Jürgen Schmude (University of Munich) and Michael Dowling (University of Regensburg), the mission of IECER is to advance interdisciplinary entrepreneurship research in Europe. In ten years, Michael Dowling and Jürgen Schmude have established the conference as one of the leading conferences on interdisciplinary entrepreneurship research in Europe, providing researchers from a variety of disciplines the opportunity to discuss their latest research advancements. Conceived as a high quality forum of entrepreneurship debate, the conference is held every year at different locations across Europe (Amsterdam, Brescia, Chur, Innsbruck, Montpellier, Munich, Lisbon, Siegen, Utrecht) in the past years. After the 10th anniversary of the IECER, the academic coordination was handed over to Frank Lasch (Montpellier Business School) and Kerstin Wagner (FH Graubünden). The IECER today has a Conference Board, consisting of a group of Entrepreneurship professors around Europe.
