Beyster Symposium - Left Pane

Beyster Fellowship Symposium

The Beyster Fellowship Symposium brings together academic leaders and new scholars involved with evaluating broad-based employee ownership (EO) and entrepreneurism. The first symposium was held 7/22/09 through 7/23/09 in La Jolla, CA. It drew over 40 academics, including many Beyster Fellows, who shared their research findings and also participated in an MIT Enterprise Forum panel discussion, which was attended by more than 200 people.

Proceedings for the 2009 symposium are currently being developed.

The next symposium is planned for summer, 2010.
