About the symposium

The Uddevalla Symposium was designed to bring together leading-edge views of academic scholars and mix them with the critical and creative views of post-docs and PhD students engaged in their thesis work. Also researchers and insightful practitioners from various fields was brought together in order to increase our knowledge as regards research questions related to “Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Functional Regions".

Following the tradition established by the previous symposia, starting in 1998, the Uddevalla Symposium focus on various fields within business administration and management, including the fields of international business, economics, entrepreneurship and small business economics as well as from regional economics, regional planning, economic geography, work, informatics, political science and sociology.
