EDEN calls to everyone’s mind the garden of earthly delights to which the Book of Genesis refers. It evokes the attractive and creative environment that EIASM offers to young promising scholars who undertake the exciting doctoral adventure.
Through the creation of EDEN, EIASM will contribute to the most critical phases in a scholar’s life cycle : i.e. his/her introduction to and early growth on the academic market. Thanks to its unique image and its organizational competitive advantages (core of associations, autonomy and flexibility), EIASM can indeed be very efficient at :

• inserting young doctoral fellows into a highly stimulating system where European researchers can interact (within and across associations), sharing common objectives and concerns ;
• helping them in the positioning of their own work in relation to European research generally : expose them to various research traditions and orientations, open their minds to the international/global perspectives to be adopted when looking at the Management environment, make them aware of the challenges Management is facing in Europe (globalization, new technologies, etc.) ;
• creating a network of European educators active at the doctoral level in Management.

The Doctoral Track is a unique opportunity for doctoral students and junior researchers to follow a well-balanced Ph.D. programme in the areas of entrepreneurship and innovation.

The doctoral track includes three programmes:

1. EDEN Doctoral Seminar on Methods, Techniques and Theories in Entrepreneurship and Innovation
The seminar introduces the participants to the methods, techniques and theories commonly used in their research area. It also offers possibilities for young researchers to get in contact with their peers, to explore new avenues of thinking, to learn collectively and to exchange ideas in a very active and stimulating way.

The emphasis is on interactive learning with peers about the practical aspects of setting up a research project

2. Doctoral Tutorial I on Entrepreneurship and Innovation
This tutorial gives the participants the opportunity to present the intermediate results of their own research project/paper to leading peers.

3. Doctoral Tutorial II on Entrepreneurship and Innovation
This tutorial gives the participants the opportunity to present their near-final research results of their own research project/paper to leading peers.

The Doctoral Track is a unique opportunity to share knowledge, discuss a variety of topics, refine your research questions and shape your research proposal. In addition the seminar and tutorial provide a excellent networking opportunity.

It is recommended that doctoral students participate in the full doctoral track, that is the EDEN seminar on methods, techniques and theories and the 2 tutorials. Participation to the doctoral tutorials is not limited to only doctoral students who attended the EDEN seminar, but will be opened to all doctoral students and young researchers.
