Location: George Mason University, Fairfax Campus, VA 22030
Organized by Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Over the years the Mason Entrepreneurship Research Conference (MERC) has become a great sounding board for shaping early stage research ideas as well as a friendly venue to receive feedback on fully developed papers in a collegial and inclusive format. Our conference is open to researchers interested in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship from any discipline. Hence researchers from all academic disciplines are invited to participate in this annual event. In the past, researchers from business, public policy, engineering, education, economics, geography, health sciences, sociology, humanities and political sciences have participated in this conference.
The conference planning committee is seeking a wide-range of conference presentations representing an eclectic mix of research from diverse levels of research analysis, different research approaches and multiple disciplines (e.g. business management, education, economics, engineering, finance, marketing, fine arts, health services, history of entrepreneurship, organization theory, performing arts, political science, psychology, public policy, and sociology to name a few). While all abstracts/manuscripts relevant to entrepreneurship are welcome, submissions dealing with the following topics are particularly encouraged:
How connected is the construct of Innovation to the field of Entrepreneurship?
The role of Innovations in Social Entrepreneurship and Non-Profit Management
Impact of Entrepreneurship Education and the resultant Innovations in Society
