The mini track will focus on various aspects of entrepreneurship education and learning. Entrepreneurship education has exhibited a remarkable growing phase during the last decade as the majority of worldwide educational policies prioritize it. Nonetheless, the emerging educational research in the field appears with low impact amongst the rest entrepreneurial subjects. Entrepreneurship education faces difficulties due to its fragmented content and eclectic approaches. The field needs a reconsideration/evaluation for the adoption of robust teaching models and deep assessment of outcomes.

Following a series of previous ECIE mini-tracks, this track is designed to involve educators, educational psychologists and entrepreneurship researchers in a discussion regarding research in entrepreneurial education and learning. Not only applications and case studies but also theoretical foundations, teaching
models, innovative methods and tools, reflections on outcomes and linkages with educational policies are welcome. Transnational practices will be discussed in order to map and assess the provision of entrepreneurial courses in a more global framework. Both empirical and conceptual original research is
welcome.
