International Entrepreneurship Forum (IEF)
About the Annual International Conference
The International Entrepreneurship Forum (IEF) was
founded in October 2000 and is currently located at the
International Centre for Entrepreneurship Research
(ICER) 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 development. 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.
