Venue
The Paideia-Galiza Foundation and the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of A Coruña will host the ninth edition of the International Workshop on Entrepreneurship Research (GEM-ACEDE).
The Paideia Galiza Foundation was established in 1986 as an open space for debate and reflection on topics, especially in the human and social sciences. It was born and built with the contributions of professionals from different fields of knowledge, which has allowed them to work intensively at the intersection of disciplines, practices, and discourses.
Since its beginnings, the actions and projects of the Paideia Galiza Foundation have been driven by the vocation of public service and entrepreneurship, taking self-critical, reflective knowledge as a guiding thread. Paying good ear and attention to the needs and social demands, analyzing and interpreting them in terms of opportunities, intervention, and promotion of actions, and through an integral, innovative, and interdisciplinary view. Reiterating our commitment to a social vision of the economy without dichotomies between what we understand as social and economic entrepreneurs, promoting, encouraging, strengthening, and consolidating small social economy projects and sustainable development.
The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEE) is a center of the University of A Coruña whose purpose is to provide updated and quality higher education, basic and applied research of excellence, transfer to companies and public organizations, and the dissemination of knowledge to society in the areas of economics and business.
