The Doctoral Consortium has a successful tradition at the ICSB World Conference. It represents a unique opportunity for doctoral students to present their thesis proposals and obtain useful insight into how their work can be improved and progressed as well as an opportunity for bouncing ideas off on experienced faculty. The workshop also facilitates the exchange of research experiences and new ideas in the fields of entrepreneurship and small business. The ICSB Doctoral Consortium is truly a meeting place for both new and experienced researchers from all over the world and an ideal place to network. At ICSB we encourage students from all over the world in particular those in later stages of their research process to apply.

The consortium is organized with a morning and an afternoon session. The morning session is organized in a round table plenary session discussing common challenges; and the afternoon session discusses individual student proposals in 4-5 tracks based on the proposals received from the doctoral students. One or two senior faculty experienced in the specific topic addressed will discuss each proposal.

Doctoral candidates interested in attending and presenting their research proposal (not the result of completed research) should send a TWO PAGE abstract including information on when they commenced their Ph.D. study and when they expect to complete. The abstract should be organized according to the following guidelines: it should explain (i) the topicality of the research, (ii) the theoretical background, (iii) stating research question(s) and theory questions, as well as the (iv) proposed methodology and (v) expected contribution to the field.

Abstract should be submitted online no later than March 1, 2011. Please note that the on-line submission system is now closed.
