Nazarbayev University Centre for Entrepreneurship (NURCE) in cooperation with Goethe University, Frankfurt organizes an International Academic Workshop titled "Entrepreneurship and Social Change in Central Asia, South Caucasus, and Eastern Europe: Decolonization, Identities, and Empowerment." The event is scheduled to take place from October 10-13, 2024, at Nazarbayev University in Astana, Kazakhstan. 
 
This workshop aims to explore the dynamic intersections between entrepreneurship and social change, focusing on the crucial roles of decolonization, cultural identity, and empowerment in shaping economic and social landscapes. We are looking for insightful papers that address these themes, particularly in the context of post-Soviet societies and other regions experiencing similar transitional challenges. 
 
Please find attached the call for papers, which includes detailed information on submission guidelines, key dates, and thematic areas of focus. We believe your expertise would greatly enrich our discussions, and we would be honored to have your contribution. 
 
Deadline for submissions of abstracts is extended to July 20, 2024. We encourage you to share this call within your networks and with colleagues who may also be interested in participating. 
 
Funding for travel will be considered.
