REE Latin America: Call for Papers on Entrepreneurship Education Techniques
Entrepreneurship education is a lifelong activity and entrepreneurship educators are always developing new ways to teach students how to be entrepreneurial. Our challenge is to teach topics such as creativity, opportunity recognition, leadership, negotiation, business planning, strategy, and execution in ways that make the concepts come alive for our students. Many educators have developed their own educational approaches by adapting existing methods to their specific needs and by creating new teaching tools.

The general theme for the Roundtable on Entrepreneurship Education for Scientists and Engineers – Latin America (REE LA) in Rio de Janeiro will be "know-how". Educators from all over the world will discuss the new challenges in entrepreneurship education and how they are being faced in their own countries. Also, we will discuss and share teaching approaches, materials, and experiences.

In order to collect as much about this subject as we can, we will introduce a new feature to the REE Conference. There will be a call for papers related to techniques for teaching entrepreneurship, inside and outside the classroom. It will be a great opportunity for showing, sharing, and improving teaching skills.
