IECER 2027 in Tallinn: Entrepreneurship in Times of Disruption – Navigating Change, Building Resilience

22–24 September 2027 | Estonian Business School, Tallinn, Estonia


The 25th Interdisciplinary European Conference on Entrepreneurship Research (IECER) will take place at the Estonian Business School (EBS) in Tallinn, Estonia, from 22 to 24 September 2027.

In a world increasingly shaped by geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, technological disruption, and societal transformation, entrepreneurship and innovation play a crucial role in navigating change and building resilience.

While geopolitical crises and shifting security priorities create new challenges and entrepreneurial opportunities, including in emerging fields such as defence technologies, broader societal developments raise important questions about inclusion, equality, and the role of entrepreneurship in shaping a more sustainable and equitable future.

 

Under the theme "Entrepreneurship in Times of Disruption: Navigating Change, Building Resilience," IECER 2027 invites researchers from diverse disciplines to explore how entrepreneurs respond to uncertainty, adapt their strategies and behaviours to overcome crises, and develop innovative solutions that contribute to economic and societal transformation.

 

Hosted by the Estonian Business School, a leading institution for entrepreneurship education and research in Estonia, under the leadership of Rector Professor Meelis Kitsing, the conference offers an inspiring setting for interdisciplinary exchange. Estonia's dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem and its experience in navigating geopolitical and technological change make Tallinn a particularly fitting location for these discussions.

 

The Call for Papers will be published in February 2027, with the submission deadline in May 2027.

 

We look forward to welcoming you to Tallinn in September 2027
