For doctoral students in

INNOVATION, KNOWLEDGE AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

(open the official call here)

The conference is open for all PhD students working within the broad field of
economics and management of innovation and organizational change. We invite
papers aiming at enhancing our understanding of the dynamics of technological,
structural and institutional change at the level of firms, industries, regions and
nations. DRUID is the node for an open international network – new partners are
always of interest (we of course encourage DRUID Academy PhD students and
students connected to the DIMETIC PhD program to submit an abstract as well).
Do not hesitate to apply even if you have not been in contact with DRUID
previously.
The conference is organized by the DRUID Academy for Doctoral Education and
Training in collaboration with the EU 6th Framework Network of Excellence DIME
Consortium (Dynamics of Institution and Markets in Europe).

The main emphasis is on PhD presentations. Each PhD student paper will be
assigned to a “junior” (a fellow PhD student) and to a senior discussant (from
DRUID faculty or invited guests). There will also be a series of keynote speakers
in the program. The details of the program, titles of keynote presentations etc.
will be continuously updated at the DRUID homepage.
