ECIE

16th European Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship
16-17 September 2021, Lisbon, Portugal

ACI is taking a hybrid approach towards conferences this year. We are planning to run our series of conferences as physical events with the option for participants to join virtually. If when it draws close to the time  of the event we are unable to meet in person due to COVID-19 restrictions the conference will move fully into the virtual format. We urge you to continue to submit your abstracts and papers in line with the published dates (extensions will be granted on request).

Personal Message from the Conference Chairs

We live in a challenging time for humanity. Many of our values and achievements are being undermined by the COVID-19 pandemic. More than ever, the capacity for innovation of each organization and each country will be crucial to finding solutions for a more sustainable, more egalitarian, and more focused society for the common good. In this context, it will be resilient entrepreneurs and innovators who can make a difference by rebuilding companies and organizations and creating a new paradigm based on more agile, resilient, and sustainable organizations.

The organizers of ECIE aim to strengthen the debate on innovation issues affecting the future of our society and the next generations. Thus, researchers, students, entrepreneurs and all those who wish to contribute to the discussion on the subject are invited to participate in the next ECIE, which will take place in Portugal, at Iscte - Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, on 16 - 17 September 2021.
