      • To learn about the academic job market and opportunities in industry and government

      • To facilitate and promote networking and meet leading Australian and international entrepreneurship researchers as well as other PhD candidates in an informal setting,

          Testimonials

          As a first-time participant and a new doctoral student just 6 months in, the conference has been extremely useful for me in terms of my own personal learning and in meeting new, liked-minded individuals. I would definitely encourage more of my friends to apply the conference in the future.
