Movements of Entrepreneurship

ESBRI conducts and promotes research on entrepreneurship and small business. One way of doing this is to create meeting places for the field's most prominent researchers. Movements of Entrepreneurship is such a place.

It is a series of publication workshops where ESBRI invites researchers from all over the world to participate. During a couple of days they present and discuss papers which are later collected for a book. Movements of Entrepreneurship is about movement in the field of entrepreneurship, and ESBRI's objective is to move the research on entrepreneurship forward.

Movements of Entrepreneurship is inspired by the four elements. The theme of the first Movements workshop was "water" and the workshop took place in June 2001. Some thirty researchers from Europe, Asia and USA participated in this meeting which resulted in the book "New Movements in Entrepreneurship", published by Edward Elgar.
