Objective
The Bentley E-Hub is helping to crystallize innovation and entrepreneurship as a key strategic focus for the university. Several members of the Bentley University community are independently engaged in research projects and initiatives focusing broadly on the concept of innovation and entrepreneurship. However, there are still few opportunities for faculty working across Business and the Arts & Sciences to share their insights and perspectives to studying innovation and entrepreneurship and develop new and exciting research avenues.
Purpose
The purpose of this working group is to create such a space for cross-departmental research discussions on the focus of innovation and entrepreneurship. Our effort is not tied to one or more specific scholarly outputs. Instead, this initiative aims to provide an intellectually engaging space for faculty and researchers to interact, discuss, and develop new insights on the topic of innovation and entrepreneurship. We hope that such interactions will facilitate future collaborative opportunities.
Meetings
We envision a round table meeting hosted once a month during activity period. Lunch will be provided. The only expectation is that participants come to our sessions willing and ready to share their research perspective about the topic of innovation and entrepreneurship, how they are pursuing their work in this space, and share findings from their ongoing work. The E-hub will bring contributions from alumni, students, and external partners to share emerging research areas related to innovation and entrepreneurship that they are eager to explore. Meetings are limited to 12 participants to ensure meaningful interactions and discussion.
