We are proud to announce the launch of RISE: Research Initiative for Scholarly Entrepreneurship, a program of the Minority and Women’s Entrepreneurship Special Interest Group. Please join us on Tuesday, September 16th from 11:45-12:45 pm EST  at our kickoff meeting as we launch a new year of scholarship. 

The mission of RISE is to advance rigorous, inclusive, and innovative entrepreneurship research by fostering collaboration, mentorship, and publication among MWE scholars committed to elevating marginalized and underrepresented voices in the field.

The upcoming RISE meeting will serve as Part 1. The purpose of this meeting is to introduce the initiative and to begin establishing potential research groups and areas of interest within the SIG.

We will follow up with a Part 2 meeting, where groups will be able to break out into rooms and discuss their specific research interests in more detail.

Before attending, please complete this spreadsheet with your information and research interests:
