> ABOUT THE ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE |
|
The
International Entrepreneurship Forum (IEF) was founded in October
2000 and is currently located at the Centre for Entrepreneurship
Research at the University of Essex.
The IEF is an
informal network of academics, policy makers and practitioners,
who are brought together to discuss and interact with each other on
issues related to entrepreneurship research, education and training.
During the past 10 years IEF has organised highly successful, refereed
international conferences in different countries of Europe, Asia and
the Middle East covering various aspects of entrepreneurship,
innovation and economic develoment.
One of the most satisfying outcomes of all the events has
been the identification of new interest, scholarship and insight
into entrepreneurial activity, across different countries,
demonstrating the value of learning in an international arena of
thought and practice. This outcome informs the themes and topics
chosen for each conference.
The IEF continues to work closely with the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD), and its Local Employment and
Economic Development (LEED) Programme.

Dear Fellows, Colleagues and Friends,
Following our highly
successful 10th IEF conference in Bahrain in January this year and
subsequent discussions with colleagues we have decided to organise
our 11th IEF conference in 2012. This helps us to avoid
overburdening ourselves and you with an excess of “IEF direct”! This
decision does not, however, mean that we refrain from our research
and development dissemination and networking activities for any
length of time.
Instead we have decided to join the
Indian Institute of Management (Bangalore) and its partners for a
major conference on ‘Entrepreneurship
and New Venture Creation’ to be held in Bangalore
from 8-10 December, 2011. The conference should be an exciting
opportunity for all who are interested in looking at and examining
new horizons of entrepreneurship and innovation, the emergence of
new models of entrepreneurial activity and value creation at a time
of rapid change.
The
conference brochure
can be downloaded here. Please note
the deadlines for abstract and full paper submissions. For updates
please visit the ICER conference website at:

We hope you will be able to
join us in IT city, Bangalore, in one of the world’s major
concentrations for entrepreneurial firms, talented human capital,
research, technological breakthroughs, and urban dynamism!
