Conference Kolding 24 - 27 April 2018

Invitation

Dear SPACE members,

I have the privilege to invite you to the SPACE conference, which will be held in Kolding from April 24 till 26th April 2018.

As the President of the IBA International Business Academy, it is a great honour to host this event of the SPACE network of higher education institutions.

The conference theme “Fostering social impact by linking HEI research to entrepreneurship” is very much in line with IBAs approach to stimulate entrepreneurial synergies, while functioning as an integrated knowledge partner in the local public and business environment.

We are open for new ideas and experiences within this field and we are looking forward to discuss our approach with you.

IBA has been a member of the SPACE community for several years now and through this international network, we have found both inspiration and project partners. The SPACE Conference settings offers you great opportunities to connect with new people and to gain insight and update your knowledge in different areas, through meetings with colleagues, researchers and keynote speakers.

So please join the conference, build new relations and enjoy your visit in Kolding and the Region of Southern Denmark.

 

Best regards,

Niels Egelund
