Over the past decade, the field of entrepreneurship education research has developed significantly. The theme for the first 3E – ECSB Entrepreneurship Education – Conference in Aarhus 2013 was “Rethinking Entrepreneurship Education, Training and Policy: The questions we care about.” The ambition was to create a conference on entrepreneurship education that broadened the concepts of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education beyond the traditional venture creation and business school domains and to welcome scholars from education, pedagogy, and learning to integrate their education research with entrepreneurship. Since then, the 3E conferences have brought together scholars and educators from a broad variety of educational institutions and disciplinary backgrounds, and continuously serve as a central European platform for the exchange and creation of knowledge in entrepreneurship education.

In 2023, the 3E Conference celebrates 10-year anniversary and return to the city of Aarhus. The 2023 edition is hosted by Aarhus University and VIA University College in collaboration.

Over the past decade, the field of entrepreneurship education research has also grown significantly. But what have we learnt from the past decade about doing education-based research? And how can we use what we have learned to design and rethink entrepreneurship education for the future?
