Call for Abstracts: Women Entrepreneurship Conference Bangkok

Abstract submission deadline: May 4, 2015 – EXTENDED to May 20, 2015

This British Council supported conference invites papers that explore female entrepreneurship. With one of the world’s highest rates of women entrepreneurship (GEM, 2013), Thailand offers a particularly interesting setting to this topic in a greater depth. Emphasis is placed on analysing the strengths, challenges and business models of female entrepreneurs as well as strategies to promote and support women entrepreneurship. With the kind support of the British Council Research Links 40, outstanding candidates will be awarded free accommodation, international travel and a generous reduction in conference fees.
