These conferences have been a great success and not only attractive forum for European researchers, but also for researchers from North and South America and Asia, because of the very good atmosphere conducive to discussions and informal communication. The total number of participants is between 60 and 70, but the presented countries are about 20. The participants in these conferences are world-renowned scolars as David Smallbone, Ken O'Neill, Hans Pichler, Bogdan Piasecki, Alain Fayolle, David Watkins, Antti Haahti, Raymond Saner as well as representatives of countries that are at the very beginning of entrepreneurial studies as Serbia, Croatia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Russia, Colombia. These conferences provide an opportunity to establish a dialogue between very diverse research experience and background of research scholars from across Europe and representatives from non-European countries.
