Workshop zu Refugee Entrepreneurship
Workshop on Refugee Entrepreneurship (23 May 2022)
Dear Participants,
It is with pleasure to welcome you to the 2022 Workshop on refugee entrepreneurship at the University of Bremen. We are grateful for the numerous submissions of proposals and the big number of requests to attend. Obviously, there is a growing number of scholars interested in research on refugee entrepreneurship and we hope to contribute to building and maintaining this movement by hosting this workshop.
Refugee entrepreneurship is still an under-researched topic in entrepreneurship studies. And it is an ambiguous phenomenon: the root causes of refuge relate to serious pain and threats of people who had to leave their country due to wars, civil wars, or other catastrophes of different kinds. At the same time, entrepreneurship of refugees is a measure to achieve and maintain livelihood in a new setting – and often a sign of hope for people in such constellations that may help them to rebound.
As a hybrid workshop, we look forward to meeting you in person or online. With several paper sessions and two panels we offer a one day program and we try to explicitly consider long-term development as well as current challenges like the situation in Eastern Europe, in Turkey or in African countries. Enjoy your time at the workshop and let us stay in touch!
