Putting research into policy and practice
The Institute for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ISBE) is a network for people and organisations involved in small business and entrepreneurship research, policy, education, support and advice.
ISBE’s members are its most valuable resource, offering vast reserves of knowledge and research. Through events and activities ISBE aims to disseminate this research to policy makers and business support organisations, where it can have genuine impact and inform change, and to share these resources with academics, researchers and educators. Through ISBE’s network and activities academics, policy makers and those who work in business support are able to connect and form beneficial working relationships.
RAKE Fund
ISBE 2024
Small business and entrepreneurship research has a significant role to play in addressing inequalities at local, national and global levels, but to date the potential impact of this collaborative research has not been fully realised. ISBE2024 will bring together in Sheffield a group of leading researchers, practitioners and policymakers to explore together how to ensure that our research has a tangible impact on this crucial area of global concern.
