Theme: Doctoral Student Workshop on Technology Entrepreneurship
Location: University of Washington

The workshop aspires to provide an intellectually stimulating experience, map the theoretical domain of technology entrepreneurship, and build community. Students will read several articles on entrepreneurship and come prepared to discuss them.  Workshop participants will have opportunities to present their own research interests, to interact with each other, and to get acquainted with faculty members.
 
Students selected for the workshop will be invited to attend the two-day research symposium that follows, which will showcase cutting-edge work by technology entrepreneurship researchers from the Northwest and around the country.

The location is the beautiful Pacific Northwest, a spectacular setting at this time of year. This is a great opportunity for doctoral students to learn from leading scholars and contemporary work in the field.
