[AISWorld] 9th European Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship - ECIE 2014 - First Call for Papers

[Sue Nugus]

Hello

This is a first call for papers for the 9th European Conference on
Innovation and Entrepreneurship - ECIE 2014 being held at the University
of Ulster Belfast, UK on the 18-19 September 2014.

Today we are mailing the FIRST CALL for papers, which will close on 27
February 2014.

The conference provides an international opportunity for scientific
discussion and collaboration on a broad range of relevant fertile areas
associated to recent trends in innovation. Over the last years, there is
a growing recognition in business environments of the key role played by
innovation in the creation and success of businesses. In a dynamic
environment, uncertain contexts like those we are currently
experiencing, the capacity and necessary attitude for creating new firms
is fundamental and the probability of success is largely determined by
innovation. At the same time there is a growing recognition of the need
of more sustainable innovation, combining economic, ecologic and social
aspects. These challenges combined with limited internal resources and
high risk and complexity enhance (social) networking in innovation and
entrepreneurship. At the same time, policy makers face important
challenges to stimulate and provide the necessary means for innovation
and entrepreneurship.

The theme of the Conference for ECIE 2014 is "Societal-driven innovation
and entrepreneurship". To set the scene, the conference will be opened
with a keynote presentation by Roberto Santoro (Italy) President of the
European Society of Concurrent Engineering Network (ESoCE Net) who will
address the topic "PEOPLE OLYMPICS FOR HEALTHY and ACTIVE LIVING": A
People Driven Social Innovation Platform.

We warmly invite practitioners, academics, and people in the field of
policy making to present their research and to share their experiences
in a broad range of areas related to the new trends in innovation and
entrepreneurship. Topics can be related to all types of organizations
(SMEs - YICs - spin-offs - MNEs - private and public research centres -
Universities - Government Institutions).
