Call for Papers

We are excited to announce the call for papers for the 8th WEFI student-led workshop, to be held virtually (Zoom) on November 2, 2026.

Alongside WEFI’s regular seminar series, this one-day event provides an opportunity for PhD students interested in entrepreneurship and innovation to present their work and receive feedback from faculty in these areas. We invite full-length, student-authored papers from all disciplines on innovation and entrepreneurship. Papers co-authored with faculty members are welcome if the student presents the paper at the workshop.

Submission deadline: September 25, 2026, at 11:59pm ET.
Submission email: Send your papers to [email protected] and include the presenting author’s name in the subject line.
Workshop date: November 2, 2026.

We look forward to your submissions!
