Call for Postdoctoral Candidates – MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship 2026

We are looking for a postdoctoral candidate to apply together for a MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship 2026 at the University of Strasbourg, hosted at the BETA.

Hosting offer : Coordinating Support Mechanisms in University Entrepreneurial Ecosystems

In recent years, universities have significantly expanded their structures supporting student entrepreneurship. While this development has generated many positive outcomes, it has also created coordination challenges that may limit the effective development of student-led entrepreneurial projects.

The objective of this project is to analyse the modes of coordination among the various support structures within university entrepreneurial ecosystems, by contrasting the perspectives of students with those of support providers. Several methodological approaches may be employed, including qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods. National and international comparative analyses are also envisaged.

Keywords: Student entrepreneurship, university entrepreneurial ecosystems, entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial ecosystem
