DOCTORAL STUDENT WORKSHOP
A one-day Doctoral Student Workshop will be presented in conjunction with the 11th West
Coast Research Symposium on Technology Entrepreneurship. The workshop is sponsored by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
Event: Doctoral Student Workshop on Technology Entrepreneurship
Location: Foster School of Business, University of Washington
Date: Wednesday, September 4, 2013 (Research Symposium held September 5-6)
Applications due by July 5 via online application: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/ellenp2/190100
We invite doctoral students to submit applications to attend this workshop. Sessions will focus on technology entrepreneurship, with
an emphasis on contemporary work in the field. Faculty mentors include Kathy Eisenhardt (Stanford),
Suresh Kotha (University of Washington), Alan Meyer (University of Oregon), Nandini Rajagopalan (USC), Kaye Schoonhoven (University of California, Irvine), and others.
The workshop offers an intellectually stimulating experience, maps the theoretical domain of technology
entrepreneurship, and builds community. Workshop participants will have opportunities to present their own research interests, to
interact with each other, and to get acquainted with faculty members.
The doctoral student workshop offers two separate tracks. Track 1 is designed for doctoral students who
have not yet defended a dissertation proposal and who may still be in the process of selecting a dissertation topic. This track will
devote attention to the selection of a dissertation topic, research design, and sources of data. Track 2 is intended for students who
have defended dissertation proposals (or who are close to doing so). This track will devote attention to completing the dissertation,
publishing the dissertation, and early career considerations. The two tracks will join together for selected workshop sessions/panels
and for all meals.
All students chosen for the workshop will be invited to attend the two-day Research Symposium that follows on September 5th and 6th. The
symposium will showcase cutting-edge work by technology entrepreneurship researchers from the West Coast and around the world. Details on the research
symposium are available at the WCRS website: http://theWCRS.org. Each student attendee will be provided with a $250
travel stipend, as well as all meals and three nights lodging (double occupancy). Applicants focusing on the nexus of technology, innovation, and
entrepreneurship will be given preference.
The 2013 conference will be hosted by the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship, at the University of Washington, Seattle. This is a great opportunity for doctoral students to learn from leading
scholars and contemporary work in the field. We hope to see you in Seattle!
