Call for Participation: ICSB Doctoral Consortium

Overview

The ICSB 2024 Doctoral Consortium provides a unique opportunity for students close to finishing or recently completing their doctorate to interact with experienced researchers in entrepreneurship and small business. A senior member of the community will be assigned as a mentor for each student based on the student’s preference or similarity of research interests. All students and mentors will attend a Doctoral Consortium event during the conference (in-person or virtual), allowing the students to discuss their ongoing research and career plans with their mentors. In addition, each student will present at the Doctoral Consortium event their dissertation (proposal stage or completed), describing their thesis research or a single recent paper, to the other participants and their mentors. Participation in the Doctoral Consortium events during the conference (in-person or virtual) is required for all students accepted for the ICSB 2024 Doctoral Consortium.
