2025 Southern Entrepreneurship Research Incubator Conference
Feb. 20 - 22, 2025
Kennesaw State University
The Southern Entrepreneurship Research Consortium will host the 2025 Entrepreneurship Research Incubator at Kennesaw State University. This developmental research incubator facilitates connections among entrepreneurship scholars to promote and enhance entrepreneurship research productivity and foster collaboration among colleagues throughout the South. Past incubators have produced research projects that resulted in publications in the leading entrepreneurship journals and grants funded by agencies such as the National Science Foundation.
The 2025 conference will feature sessions with Lou Marino (Kennesaw State), Jon Carr (NC State), Jeff Pollack (NC State), Clay Dibrell (Ole Miss), and Theresa Welbourne (University of Alabama) among others. The conference will also include a research design sprint, research incubation sessions, and opportunities to learn about innovative research methodologies and research contexts.
Registration is free and open to doctoral students and academics of any level. Early career faculty are especially encouraged to apply. As part of the registration, please submit a one-page proposal that is either:
