Entrepreneurship News 2013: Bridging Research and Practice

ISCTE-IUL welcomed last August the Entrepreneurship Summer University (ESU). ESU Conference and Doctoral Programme had the contribution of academics and PhD students from different countries to the discussion of entrepreneurship research.

The conference started with a plenary session under the topic Bridging entrepreneurship research and practice, by Professor António Caetano. The main findings on entrepreneurship research were discussed, but also the fact that there are still some gaps between research and practice in this research field. Following this, the PhD students participating at the conference were asked to contribute to the challenge of building bridges between research and practice in entrepreneurship. A result is the Entrepreneurship News: a newspaper about their research in a plain language as a way to translate academic work into practical language.
