Doctoral Consortium

The Doctoral Consortium on Health in Entrepreneurship at Paris Business School is a half-day, immersive program designed to help doctoral students build both scholarly skills and professional networks in the domain of entrepreneurship and well-being. The agenda begins with coffee and refreshments, followed by structured sessions on career development, research trajectory building, and network cultivation. Participants will engage in interactive discussions on crafting mentor and peer networks, workshops on maintaining work–life harmony in academic careers, and gain practical insights into publishing and sustaining a research pipeline. The day culminates in an extended mentor networking session, where doctoral students are paired with faculty for in-depth research conversations and feedback, alongside a poster-style exchange and closing reflections.

We invite doctoral students to apply to participate in the Doctoral Consortium on Health in Entrepreneurship, to be held at Paris Business School on October 1, 2026. This consortium offers a unique opportunity to engage with leading scholars, receive developmental feedback on your research, and connect with peers who share an interest in entrepreneurship, well-being, and health. The program is designed to support PhD students at various stages by providing mentorship, career guidance, and opportunities to refine research ideas in a collaborative setting.

To be considered, please submit :

> a one-page document outlining your background, career goals, research interests, and current dissertation topic (or expected topic if not yet proposed),

> a current CV.

Doctoral students interested in participating or learning more are encouraged to send your application materials (i.e., 1 page document and CV) and any questions to Tim Michaelis (tlmichae@ncsu.edu).

*Space Limited to 25 participants*

We also warmly invite faculty members and experienced scholars to serve as mentors for the consortium. Mentors will be paired with small groups of 1–3 doctoral students, offering a valuable opportunity to share expertise, provide personalized guidance, and support emerging scholars in a collaborative and engaging environment.

Please reach out to : Tim Michaelis (tlmichae@ncsu.edu), Jeff Gish (jgish@syr.edu), or Beth Embry (embry@ku.edu), if interested in joining for the day on October 1.
