On the 13th of April, heronimus Academy for Data Science (JADS) organizes a conference, to discuss the results and additional research questions of the NWO-funded research project: Entrepreneurship in the cultural and creative industry. We would like to invite you for the day, and especially for the morning program, which is aimed at academics. In addition, we plan to conduct an annual study, the so-called ‘creative entrepreneurship monitor’, in which several countries participate. We would like to use the occasion of this conference to start discussing this research opportunity with you, as well as the other international scholars in attendance. So far, Joris Ebbers, Simone Ferriani and Doris Ruth Eikhof have confirmed their presence. With this creative entrepreneurship monitor, we aim to study the attitude, identity, ambitions, organization and business outcomes of creative entrepreneurs.
