All full papers get the chance to be awarded with a best paper award and/ or to be selected for one of the books connected to the conference (see details below).

The selection is based on a double-blind review process. The review process itself is described above (under “Review process”).

Handbook YEEES Teaching
There will be a handbook on the topic of resilience through teaching. For this handbook we are looking for contributions on

• Teaching methods

• Research in education

From all the submissions within the education track (Track 1), the peers will select the papers that will be published in a handbook of resilience through teaching. Contributions recommended from the peers for this issue will be informed about this choice.

Title:  Transformational entrepreneurship education – Introducing innovative methods, formats and research from an international and interdisciplinary perspective

Societal transition, rapid technological changes and severe sustainability issues call for innovative educational approaches which develop
the complex set of competences needed to solving these issues. The YEEES Training Center, an international and interdisciplinary network of university teachers and researchers from Germany and Southern Africa, thus, works on these approaches by connecting the fields of management/ entrepreneurship, information and communication technologies (ICT) and sustainability.

In this book selected teaching approaches, supportive methods, concrete examples of curricular as well as extracurricular teaching formats, mainly designed to fit both African and German requirements, will be given. Also, the connection to research is underlined by pointing out specific research questions, how actual scientific results could be integrated into teaching, how students can contribute to research while learning and research to develop and evaluate new formats. This book is, thus, relevant for university teachers, researchers, students as well as practitioners who want to educate and/ or act as future change agents. Copying and further developing our ideas is warmly welcome!

CONFERENCE BOOKLET/CONFERENCE BOOK

There will be a digital conference booklet in which all accepted contributions will be introduced (a 1000-word abstract). There will also be a conference book with selected papers proposed by the peer reviewers. You will be notified about your selection for publication in this book in time. The notification of acceptance date is in line with our general deadline: end of January 2021.

WE ARE VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR CONTRIBUTION!
