We are building a community to increase the visibility and legitimacy of international

entrepreneurship as a field of study, coordinate and expand the international network of IE researchers,

and build relationships with policy-makers and entrepreneurs.

ie-scholars supports three types of community building activities:

1. Fostering and accelerating research. Building consensus on definitions of terms and measures, providing bibliographies and other research tools, building databases, aiding new scholars, and mentoring graduate students.

2. Knowledge mobilisation and dissemination. Exploring models of IE education, curriculum development, and helping transfer knowledge to policy-makers and entrepreneurs.

3. Community growth and enhancement. Extending and diversifying the network, engaging scholars in research and mobilisation activities, enhancing the annual conference and Journal of International Entrepreneurship, and awards to recognize excellence in research

Our resources:

1. Steering committee and founding members

2. ie-scholars is supported by a grant of $1.95 million over eight years from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Knowledge Cluster program.

What we need:

Committed members, project champions, regional hubs and international clusters of research activity
