Entrepreneurship Research Group
Entrepreneurship
Who we are
In ITIM, the research and teaching activities within the field of entrepreneurship are centered in the Entrepreneurship Research Group.
We are engaging teaching- and research community, whose members support each other in creating and developing entrepreneurial knowledge and capabilities that can be unfolded by both individuals and institutions, so these can realise economic, social, cultural as well as personal value. Our vision is to offer a vibrant and stimulating research environment dominated by the intellectual fellowship crucial for nurturing researcher satisfaction, talent development and retention. We wish to retain and enhance this diversity in the future, as entrepreneurship is in itself a trans-disciplinary phenomenon, where the combination of diverse insights from different disciplines creates truly novel research at the forefront of the field.
