From May 12 to 15, 2025, the stunning setting of the Lake Como School of Advanced Studies in Como will host the second edition of the Summer School “Sustainable Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Entrepreneurial Finance.” This academic event is organized in collaboration with Milanese universities: University of Milano-Bicocca (Unimib), Bocconi University, University of Milan (Unimi), and Politecnico di Milano.
Aimed at PhD students and early-career researchers, the summer school offers a unique opportunity to develop research skills and expand academic and professional networks. Participants will engage with internationally renowned scholars, including editors of leading scientific journals in the fields of innovation, entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurial finance.
The program includes a series of activities such as:
- Lectures and seminars
- Paper development sessions
- Roundtables
- Informal mentoring and networking
Entrepreneurship and innovation are deeply influenced by multiple factors, including internal and external decision-making processes, social and environmental concerns, entrepreneurial ecosystems (networks of universities, public institutions, research labs, investors, etc.), the availability of financial tools, and an ever-evolving economic context. The summer school aims to address these topics, equipping participants with the tools to understand and navigate these complex dynamics.
Applications for the summer school must be submitted by February 14, 2025. Interested individuals will have the chance to join a stimulating and educational event in one of the most picturesque locations in Italy.
