Dear Entrepreneurship Dividion member,
The 9th Paper Development Seminar (9PDS) on entrepreneurship process research will be held in Seville next June. The Call for Papers is attached.
Profs. Ulla Hytti, Miruna Radu-Lefebvre, Susana C. Santos, and Ute Stephan will be our guest speakers. All of them have extensive editorial experience in some of the world's best journals in entrepreneurship, such as:
§ Entrepreneurship & Regional Development
§ Small Business Economics
§ International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour and Research
§ Journal of Small Business Management
§ Journal of Developmental Entrepreneurship
A special session on Gender & Entrepreneurship will also be held during the 9PDS, in the context of the CreaVES project, approved in the 2024 call by the Spanish Research Agency (AEI), which aims to analyse how social gender stereotypes and personal values influence the decision to become an entrepreneur and the type of venture created.
This is an excellent opportunity for submitting authors to get comments and suggestions about their papers from the invited speakers.
We encourage you to submit your proposals before January 31st, 2026.
