entrepreneurial activity and for social and economic performance. The institutional approach is increasingly used in the literature on entrepreneurship. However, there is still room for both theoretical and empirical contributions. Institutions understood as the rules of the game in society shape human interaction. Institutions set both boundaries and incentives for entrepreneurial action, thus influencing the nature and pace of the development of entrepreneurship. The dynamic relationship between formal (regulations, written rules, constitutions, etc.), and informal institutions (cultural values, attitudes, traditions, etc.) explains the different levels of progress in societies. By applying an institutional approach to the field of entrepreneurship, formal institutions can be measured through the costs and procedures of creating businesses, the existence of organizations supporting services for firm formation, as well as different types of regulations related to the development of business. On the other hand, informal institutions can be operationalized, among others, through societal attitudes towards entrepreneurship, the recognition and legitimation of entrepreneurial careers in society, and the degree of fear of business failure. Thus, when developing our scholarly understanding related to the combination of formal and informal institutions, we are able to explain how and why more or less entrepreneurial societies emerge and what potential role institutions play in forming the development of entrepreneurship in societies.</p> <p><strong>Researchers interested in this line of research (from a broad or narrow perspective) are invited to be part of the Institutions and Entrepreneurship Special Interest Group (InsEnt SIG)!</strong></p> <p>The <strong>objectives</strong> of the <strong>InsEnt SIG</strong> are the following:</p> <ol> <li>Create an <strong>academic discussion forum</strong> on this research area, initially within the ECSB community, considering both theoretical and empirical-methodological perspectives to <strong>advance in the application of the institutional approach</strong>.</li> <li><strong>Promote research</strong> on institutions and entrepreneurship within the ECSB community and <strong>spread the use of the institutional approach</strong> in the field of entrepreneurship, also increasing its legitimacy in academia.</li> <li>Generate <strong>research collaborations</strong> and <strong>promote publication opportunities</strong> among the ECSB community, creating an <strong>international academic network</strong> of scholars in this area.</li> </ol> <h3></h3> <h3>Planned activities</h3> <p>During the RENT Conference in Naples (November 2022), the <strong>InsEnt SIG</strong> was created and the first meeting took place. The aim of this meeting was to introduce the group members and to discuss the internal rules of the SIG and potential activities. Also, the new RENT track on “Institutions and Entrepreneurship” was organized and dynamized during the conference. After this many meetings and activities have been organized.</p> <p>The <strong>InsEnt SIG</strong> plans to organize various activities over the <strong>next three years (2023-2025)</strong>. The main <strong>activities</strong> are the following:</p> <ol> <li>Online and/or face-to-face research seminars/workshops.</li> <li>PDWs at the pre-conference day (RENT and/or 3E Conferences).</li> <li>Organize the track on “Institutions and Entrepreneurship” at the RENT Conference. It is also planned to organize a track on “Institutions and Entrepreneurship Education” at the 3E Conference. Also, organize and coordinate a track on this topic at other conferences.</li> <li>Regular internal InsEnt SIG face-to-face members meetings during RENT Conference and the track “Institutions and Entrepreneurship Education” at the 3E Conference, and also online follow-up meetings during the rest of the year.</li> <li>Launch special issues and propose some awards for the best research on institutions and entrepreneurship in the context of the RENT Conference and/or 3E Conference (and other events).</li> </ol> <p>The <strong>InsEnt SIG</strong> activities will be disseminated through social media (LinkedIn platform, ECSB web and ECSB Newsletter).</p> <p> </p> <h3>Leadership and membership</h3> </div> </div> <!-- .et_pb_text --><div class="et_pb_module et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_0 et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close"> <h5 class="et_pb_toggle_title">Chair: David Urbano (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain) </h5> <div class="et_pb_toggle_content clearfix"> <p>David Urbano is a Professor of Entrepreneurship at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and ICREA Academia-Research Fellow.
