EERWS 2025 - Bilbao

The Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Research Winter School brings together scholars to discuss academic advancements in the emerging research field of entrepreneurial ecosystems (see e.g. Stam 2015; Wurth et al. 2019; Theodoraki 2024). Early-career scholars, including PhD candidates, are particularly invited to participate and present their work. Previous editions have been held in Utrecht, Casablanca, Paris and Stuttgart.

In this edition of the Research Winter School, we aim to provide a unique opportunity for early-career researchers to meet, network with international scholars from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) teams over the world, collaborate, and test research ideas with fellow academics involved in research on the configurations, mechanisms, and evolutionary dynamics of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems. 

The event will be held in Bilbao, Spain, and is hosted by Universidad de Deusto and Universidad del Pais Vasco in collaboration with GEM and Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Research School (EERS) lead team. Expect a dynamic three-day program featuring intensive feedback sessions, interactive workshops, and discussions with leading academics and peers worldwide.
