Submit your Research Paper Abstract here by 1 December 2025:
Specific guidelines
Both conceptual and empirical papers are welcomed. The ideal conceptual paper raises an interesting question, and through dealing with this question, arrives at a richer and transforming challenge, which helps us perceive the question in a whole new way that we have not thought about before. The ideal empirical paper formulates a question that needs to be researched and through the empirical analysis finds that the world may be richer than we thought or might work in unusual ways than we thought, whereby we may need to ask different or new questions.
Abstracts should not exceed two (2) single-spaced pages and may not exceed the maximum limit of 900 words – not counting references if applicable. Please include references if you cite sources. The author(s) name and information should NOT appear anywhere on the abstract. If you submit more than 2 abstracts, we will ask you to withdraw the additional abstracts.
Abstracts need to include the following information:
- Importance of the topic for entrepreneurship education research and/or practice
- Questions, challenges, and problems to be asked and addressed
- Originality and newness of the approach
As a guideline, we strongly suggest that abstracts are structured under the following headings:
- Paper title
- Questions we care about – Objectives
- Paper approach
- Results
- EE implications
- Value and originality
When a research paper abstract is deemed more suitable for the Practitioner Development Workshops by reviewers, authors will be asked whether they would submit instead as a PDW proposal. If affirmative, they are required to follow the PDW format and prepare a workshop session instead.
A Best Research Paper Award will be given to the paper dealing with the most interesting question we care about.
