About the Conference
The third version of this conference is aimed at entrepreneurship scholars and PhD candidates who are using or interested in using practice theory-led approaches towards understanding entrepreneurial phenomena. PhD candidates and junior faculty looking to learn about practice theory and entrepreneurship as well as make connections and get feedback from top international scholars on their work will find the consortium highly valuable. Researchers that wish to further develop their empirical and conceptual articles using practice theories and methodologies are encouraged to apply.
PhD and Junior Faculty Consortium
The PhD consortium will be held on 16-17th April, followed by attendance to the Research Conference on 18-19th, and concluded by a half-day PhD seminar on 20th April. Location of the PhD consortium is the beautiful castle Teleborgs Slott in Vaxjö (http://www.teleborgsslott.com/). The consortium is organized by the conveners and Linnaeus University, who will be offering 5 ECTS for PhD students who will complete the course work and papers.
