The 1st International Symposium on Entrepreneurship Education in Asia
We are delighted to announce that the Robert T. Huang Entrepreneurship Center of Kyushu University (hereafter referred to as QREC) will be hosting the 1st International Symposium on Entrepreneurship Education in Asia. QREC has initiated a 7-year research project that encompasses various aspects of entrepreneurship education and pedagogical methods, including teaching methodologies. Through this project, we are launching the international symposium on entrepreneurship education.
Our conference aspires to bring together entrepreneurship researchers and educators from Asia, serving as a continuous platform for future collaborations and exchanges on the major challenges and advances in entrepreneurship education. Together, we will explore innovative methodologies, best practices, and novel ways of teaching entrepreneurship. This symposium is generously funded by a donation from Mr. Shuhei Morofuji.
