In line with traditions, RENT XX will be organised in order to stimulate dialogue and reflections on progress in the field of entrepreneurship.
The field of entrepreneurship and small business studies has prospered and grown considerably during the past few years in all European countries. Remarkable development has taken place in the research frameworks and methodologies respectively.
Progress in the field of entrepreneurship is not only triggered by the exchange of ideas and new analyses inside the research community. It is also triggered by the growing emphasis on entrepreneurship in policy agendas and business communities all over Europe. It has stimulated dialogue between the research community and communities of practice.

Chairmen:
Professor Poul Rind Christensen (Aarhus School of Business).
Professor Friederike Welter (University of Siegen)
The doctoral seminar has a successful tradition at RENT and hence will be continued in Brussels. To encourage the emergence of new ideas, communication and dialogue between students and teachers from different countries, in the field of Entrepreneurship and Small Business research, we would like to invite doctoral students to attend this doctoral seminar. Students in early stages of their research are particularly encouraged to participate and present their research proposals. Sessions will be organised based on the proposals from the doctoral students, together with discussants' reflections on theory and methodology issues.
Research proposals presented will be discussed by senior researchers as well as by younger researchers experienced in the specific field of the research presented.
Doctoral candidates interested in attending should contact Professor Poul Rind Christensen (RIND@asb.dk).
There is no extra fee for participation in the Doctoral Seminar, but participation in RENT XX is requested.
The sessions are also open for Ph.d. students who do not present proposals, but want to join sessions as learning observers
