ESU 2025 Conference and Doctoral Programme (1-6 September)
We're honoured to be hosting this exciting research event, which is supported by European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
The aim of ESU is to strengthen European research and networks in entrepreneurship by focusing both on academic sessions and on the culture and heritage that the host country and region have to offer.
ESU also provides a friendly environment for young scholars to interact and bond within the research community, and to learn important skills for their future careers. At ESU, supervisors, researchers, and doctoral students from international institutions, active in entrepreneurship research and education, come together to share experiences and create new international networks, in a supportive environment.
