Leading international researcher on Rural Entrepreneurship visiting Northumbria

Leading international researcher on Rural Entrepreneurship visiting Northumbria 

On Tuesday 13th May, EPIC is delighted to be hosting Professor Steffen Korsgaard from the University of Southern Denmark.  He has been part of a developing research network with members of EPIC who are keen to explore how relationships between place and entrepreneurship change over the life course. The visit provides a wonderful opportunity to strengthen collaboration with his Center for Sustainable Business Development and Policy. 

He will deliver a guest seminar on the topic of "Entrepreneurship For The Rural?: A Reflection On Rural Entrepreneurship In A Time of Multi-Crisis” and spend time with the team discussing his tips for publishing in leading entrepreneurship journals as well as potential future research questions in this field.
