A group of entrepreneur researchers and their graduate students from across Europe gather once a year for a conference. The 10 papers here are from the August 2008 iteration, held at Høgskolen i Bodø, Norway. They cover the process of becoming and learning to become an entrepreneur, entrepreneurship as a social process of becoming entrepreneurial, and the process of creating and developing entrepreneurial organizations. The topics include the characteristics and performances of businesses started by recent university graduates, identifying entrepreneurial opportunity as demonstrate by Skype Technologies, insights into a conceptual understanding of women's entrepreneurship and social capital, a transatlantic comparative approach to structuring the field of social entrepreneurship, and exploring firm growth as a process of creation.
