Call for The International Summer School 2016 ‘Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Organisations and Societies: Ecosystems, workplace & social innovation, social quality’
18th to 23rdJuly 2016, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China
The aim of the summer school is to provide multidisciplinary perspectives on Entrepreneurship and Innovation on one hand, and to bridge visions from Asia and Europe on the other. The summer school brings together leading researchers from China and the Netherlands involved in the study of innovation and entrepreneurship in organisations and societies. Innovation and entrepreneurship are of utmost importance for solving societal issues in Europe and China, but both contexts are highly different with respect to the institutional, cultural and economic context, providing substantial variety for studying the locus and governance of entrepreneurship and innovation.
There are two streams in one programme:
- Governance and business related to entrepreneurship, innovation management, ecosystems, and workplace innovation, and
- Governance and administration related to social innovation, social quality, and social security.
Key topics: intrapreneurship, innovation management, social innovation, workplace innovation, social quality and innovation, entrepreneurial ecosystems
Participants and organisers are Zhejiang University (CN), Utrecht University (NL), the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CN), Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences, and the applied scientific research institute TNO (NL). Zhejiang University and TNO are both partner of the SI-Drive consortium.
The summer school will be student- and professionals-centred, providing participants opportunities to discuss and develop their own expertise and projects, either as master or doctoral students, as postdocs/early-career researchers, and as officials and professionals in the field.
Deadline for applications: 31st May 2016
