Dear colleagues
If you are planning to attend the DRUID Conference in Copenhagen (June 8-10), please consider joining us for this Paper Development Workshop (PDW) focused on "Micro–Macro Links for Transformative Entrepreneurship and Innovation: The Role of Individuals, Firms, Partnerships, and Policy". The event will take place on June 8 (9am-12pm).
The PDW's primary goal is to advance a coherent multi-level research agenda by examining how individuals, firms, multi-stakeholder partnerships, and policy actors jointly influence transformative outcomes. The PDW provides stimulating presentations on novel research avenues and facilitates an exchange of ideas, theory, methodologies, and data among the participants.
The event is organized in two parts. In the first part, we will have a line-up of four scholars ready to share their recent research and/or research ideas on various topics related to Transformative Entrepreneurship and Innovation:
· Raj Choudhury: Scaling Human Capital with Artificial Intelligence
· Evis Sinani: Geopolitical Risk and Multinational Firms' Innovation
· Francesco Rullani: Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships for Tackling Global Challenges
· Nilanjana Dutt: Firm Responses to Policy Making for Grand Challenges
In the second part, the participants will be divided into small groups/round tables where they can discuss a paper idea or an ongoing project that fits the broad theme of the PDW. Those interested in participating in the second part of the PDW must submit a one-page proposal (excluding bibliography) of a research project they are working on. Each proposal will be assigned a discussant at the table. Conditional on spot availability, participation is also possible without submitting a proposal but by agreeing to serve as a discussant. Submissions of proposals (or manifestation of interest to participate as a discussant) should be submitted via this form: https://shorturl.at/CDdqm by May 25, 2025.
Please note that attendance at the second part is limited to presenters and discussants. The first part of the PDW is open to anyone participating in the DRUID conference.
This PDW is sponsored by the journal Industry and Innovation.
We look forward to seeing you in Copenhagen in June.
