11th ENTERYNG Workshop

The 11th edition of “ENTERYNG workshop (ENTrepreneurship Research Workshop for YouNG scholars)” was held in Naples, organized by Professor Ivana Quinto of the Department of Engineering (University of Naples Parthenope) and Professor Pierluigi Rippa of the Department of Industrial Engineering (University of Naples Federico II) in collaboration with University of Bergamo and University of Naples Federico II. The workshop was co-financed by the ECSB – European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

The “ENTERYNG workshop” represents an opportunity for PhD students and early-career scholars to discuss their research collecting constructive feedback from a group of scholars that gathered around the workshop over the years. In this edition we received 20 submissions from talented PhD candidates and early-career scholars, and all the participants represented 10 different universities.

Beyond fostering fruitful discussions, the workshop also aims to build an international community of emerging researchers focused on entrepreneurship, innovation, international entrepreneurship and family business, while connecting them with experienced, senior academics. Together with specific feedback on their working papers, participants had the opportunity to attend professional development keynotes by internationally renowned scholars. These sessions are designed at encouraging deep reflections on personal research and career trajectories while offering practical advice on conducting impactful research.

This year’s edition included keynote speeches by:

• Professor Roberto parente, University of Salerno (Italy).
• Professor Francesco Schiavone, University of Naples Parthenope (Italy).
• Professor David Urbano, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB)
