Zoom · Event date: March 25, 2026 · Event time:12:00–5:00 PM ET

Overview

The Institute for Humane Studies is pleased to invite scholars to an online proposals workshop on entrepreneurship and opportunity. IHS welcomes scholars to workshop ideas and receive feedback from other scholars on working proposals on social entrepreneurship and barriers to entrepreneurship. The program will feature opening remarks from Diana Hechavarria.

If your research relates to social entrepreneurship, barriers to entrepreneurship including those affecting underrepresented groups, and research on innovation and entrepreneurial activity that use market-based solutions to address social problems in diverse contexts, we encourage you to apply to participate in this proposals workshop. Please include an abstract or working proposal in your application.

All participants will be expected to submit a working proposal and to read and provide comments or feedback on other participants’ proposals.

This event will take place on March 25, 2026, from 12:00 to 5:00 PM Eastern Time, and will be hosted via Zoom.
