9th European Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship - ECIE 2014 is being held at the University of Ulster Belfast, UK on the 18-19 September 2014
The theme of the Conference for ECIE 2014 is "Societal-driven innovation and entrepreneurship"
The conference provides an international opportunity for scientific discussion and collaboration on a broad range of relevant fertile areas associated to recent trends in innovation. Over the last years, there is a growing recognition in business environments of the key role played by innovation in the creation and success of businesses. In a dynamic environment, uncertain contexts like those we are currently experiencing, the capacity and necessary attitude for creating new firms is fundamental and the probability of success is largely determined by innovation. At the same time there is a growing recognition of the need of more sustainable innovation, combining economic, ecologic and social aspects. These challenges combined with limited internal resources and high risk and complexity enhance (social) networking in innovation and entrepreneurship. At the same time, policy makers face important challenges to stimulate and provide the necessary means for innovation and entrepreneurship.
We warmly invite practitioners, academics, and people in the field of policy making to present their research and to share their experiences in a broad range of areas related to the new trends in innovation and entrepreneurship. Topics can be related to all types of organizations (SMEs - YICs - spin-offs - MNEs – private and public research centres – Universities – Government Institutions).

Academic research, case studies and work-in-progress/posters are welcomed approaches. PhD Research, proposals for roundtable discussions, non-academic contributions and product demonstrations based on the main themes are also invited. Please feel free to circulate this message to any colleagues or contacts you think may be interested.
There are a number of publication opportunities available. For example: Papers accepted for the conference will be published in the conference proceedings (indexed in the WOS and by Scopus), subject to author registration and payment.
