acere2020 Call for Reviewers

by

Thanks to everyone who submitted their scholarly work for consideration for the 2020 ACERE conference,  we are now looking forward to the 2020 conference to be held in Adelaide (Doctoral Consortium 4&7 February; Academic Paper Program & PDS  5-7 February; Entrepreneurship Educators Forum 4 February).

Like in the last years we again received a high number of  submission, this year from 30 countries, which is great news. ACERE is the leading entrepreneurship research conference in Australasia with a strong international outreach and high-caliber keynote (the confirmed 2020 keynotes are David Audrtesch, Sara Carter, Dean Shepherd etc..).

However, we need your help – we need more external reviewers for the paper submission. To everyone who has already signed up to review, THANK YOU!

Please sign-up to be a reviewer HERE 

The reviewing period for full papers is 15 October to 30 November. 

Your contribution as a reviewer is highly valued and essential for such as paper-based conference format.

I hope we can count on you and maybe welcome you in person during ACERE2020 in Adelaide or one of the ACERE conferences in the next years.

Director, Australian Centre for Entrepreneurship Research (ACE)

ABSTRACT Deadline

by

The deadline to submit abstracts for the 2020 Conference was brought back a month earlier than in previous years. 

Due to this some people have missed the DEADLINE and we have decided to leave the portal open for one more week.

… if you missed the DEADLINE then PLEASE make sure you DO UPLOAD AT THE LATEST by Monday 15 July as we really need to have your submissions to our reviewing committee during that week.

The ACERE 2020 abstract submission portal is open! 

Who is coming to ACERE?

The ACERE 2020 abstract submission portal is open! 

Deadline for abstract submission: July 8, 2019

ACERE2020 will take us to the beautiful city of Adelaide, which is famous for its many festivals and sporting events, its long beachfronts, and its food and wines (e.g., Barossa Valley) and we are very pleased to co-host this year’s conference with The University of South Australia.

As every year, please expect the following:

  1. A very strong group of invited international high-caliber researchers in key roles. For 2020 we can already confirm Dean Shepherd, David Audretsch, Sara Carter and Per Davidsson  (plus others)
  2. A highly developmental format throughout, and in particular for those who opt for a “Paper Development Session“. In these you get comprehensive feedback from peers who have read your paper as well as from your chair, who is a highly experienced international researcher. The conference also features a doctoral consortium.
  3. The conference is completely devoted to entrepreneurship scholarship and its size is manageable; some 100-150 participants, making for a very enjoyable experience.
  4. ACERE is a highly international conference, with 1/3 of participants coming from Europe and North America and with representation from a range of other countries in both hemispheres.
  5. Check the testimonials from participants on the ACERE website.
  6. If you’re from the Northern hemisphere, February is a very good time to go…somewhere else, like Australia.
  7. Special social events during the conference (just ask participants of the last ACERE in Sydney this February).

So we hope to see you in Adelaide next February,

With best wishes,

Martin Obschonka
Director, Australian Centre for Entrepreneurship Research, QUT Business School
