Tentative start: 1 August, 2024
Application deadline: 26 February, 2024
We are seeking candidates interested in one of the following broad topics:
- "Innovation and entrepreneurship for sustainability and circular economy". Making more sustainable use of the earth's resources is a significant challenge faced by society. The transition to a circular economy requires innovation at all levels of society. Entrepreneurship and innovation represent essential driving forces for making circular economy an integrated part of all economic activity. There is a need for research on how entrepreneurs and innovative firms can contribute to a more rapid transition to a circular economy. The objective of this PhD position is to explore entrepreneurship and innovation processes for sustainability and circular economy. Potential focus areas could be open innovation, business models, and technology development for a more circular economy and sustainable future.
- "Entrepreneurship and health". Health is very important to- and affect people's lives. Health restrictions may favor entrepreneurship over regular employment, yet the associated uncertainty and workload can have adverse effects. Conversely, the flexibility and passion inherent in entrepreneurship can positively impact health. Despite this, the role of health as a driver or barrier in entrepreneurship is often overlooked in research. Additionally, entrepreneurship and innovation hold the potential to enhance the healthcare industry, improving patient outcomes and reducing overall healthcare costs. The aim of this PhD position is to investigate the interplay between individual health and entrepreneurship, or explore innovation processes within the healthcare sector.
