The European Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship
has been running now for 13 years. This event has been held in Italy, Northern
Ireland, France, Belgium, Portugal, and Finland to mention some of the
countries who have hosted it. The conference is generally attended by
participants from more than 40 countries and attracts an interesting combination
of academic scholars, practitioners and individuals who are engaged in various
aspects of innovation and entrepreneurship teaching and research.
For the 4th consecutive year, ECIE hosts the final round of The Innovation
& Entrepreneurship Teaching Excellence Awards.
Submission Types
This section provides information about the types of submissions invited for
consideration. It should be read in conjunction with the Call for Papers and
also the Submission Guidelines section below. You can also download a .pdf of
the submission types accepted
Academic Research Papers
Papers should address one of the topics listed in the call for papers and can
describe a wide range of research including empirical or theoretical studies.
In addition, philosophical papers presenting an argument and papers presenting
a process that has been developed and is now ready for wider use are welcome.
In all cases concepts and underlying principles should be emphasised, with
enough background information to orient any reader who is not a specialist in
the particular subject area original. The work should not have been published
elsewhere and should not be intended to be published elsewhere during the
review period.
Posters/ Work in Progress
Researchers are invited to submit current projects which are either at the
proposal stage or are work in progress. In the first instance you should submit
an abstract describing the project. If your abstract is selected you will be
given the choice of producing a short paper with poster or abstract only with
poster. If you opt for a paper, this should be a maximum of 2000 words
including abstract, keywords and references. The paper will be double-blind
peer reviewed and if accepted will be published in the conference proceedings.
Presentation of the work at the conference will take the form of a Poster.
Posters will be on display for the duration of the conference and there will be
a timetabled slot for contributors to stand by their posters so that
participants can come and discuss the research.
Participants will be asked to vote for the best poster and a prize will be
given for the poster receiving the highest number of votes.
PhD Research Colloquium
Doctoral Candidates are invited to submit papers describing their research. PhD
papers will be organised into a Colloquium and there will be a chair person and
a discussant to provide constructive feedback on the work. To be eligible, it
is necessary for the paper to be produced to a publishable academic standard
and papers will be subject to the same criteria and processes as research
papers. However the final results of the research may not have been fully
completed and interpreted.
A prize will be awarded to the best PhD paper presented at the
conference.
Case Study Submissions
Case study submissions should be written to publishable standards. Case studies
will be subject to the same criteria and processes as research papers.
Non-Academic Contributions
The conference committee welcomes contributions from individuals and organisations
working in the field. These contributions can take the form of a presentation
or a demonstration. In the first instance an abstract should be submitted
describing the work to be presented. If the abstract is selected you will be
asked whether you wish to produce a paper or just give a presentation. You will
need to register for the conference to have a confirmed timetabled slot.
Round Table Proposals
The Programme Committee invites topical subjects to be proposed for discussion.
In the first instance an abstract describing the proposed topic should be
submitted. If selected the convener will be required to register to attend the
