The University of Beira Interior and the Management and Economics Department will host it.

In line with traditions, RENT XXII will be organised in order to stimulate dialogue and reflections about the importance of Entrepreneurship as an engine for Regional Development.

The research in entrepreneurship and small business has prospered and grow considerably during the past decade in all European countries. Remarkable development has taken place in the research frameworks and methodologies respectively.

Progress in the field of entrepreneurship is not only triggered by the exchange of ideas and new analyses that derive from the interaction among the entrepreneurial community, the policy makers and the academic community. It is also characterised by the growing emphasis on entrepreneurship in policy agendas and business communities all over Europe. It has stimulated dialogue among the private and public entities, and the academic community."
