CALL FOR CONFERENCE PAPERS



Resilience through Sustainable Entrepreneurship, Digital Solutions and Education: A German-African Conference



March 24th - 26th, 2021



 



YEEES is an inter- and transdisciplinary project that focusses on Yields of Evocative Entrepreneurial Approaches on Environment and Society (YEEES). We especially elaborate on the resilience of cities and peri-urban areas, while focusing challenges in different areas, e.g., agriculture, health, and transport/mobility. Our project connects universities from Germany (Vechta and Oldenburg) and Southern Africa (Mozambique Namibia and South Africa).



Our research focuses on the combination of entrepreneurship, sustainability and ICT asking, “How can sustainability entrepreneurship based on or using ICT contribute to resilient city and peri-urban area development in Africa and Germany?”



After 3 years of interdisciplinary research, workshops, sustainability camps and exchanges, the YEEES project, funded by the BMBF and DAAD, has come to fruitful and future-oriented outcomes.



Guiding Theme and Further Research



Yet, to widen the knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship, digital solutions, and sustainability and to carve out transformational ways of building resilience at different levels, we call for further research ideas and results. The goal of the YEEES Conference is to offer a space for researchers to present their contributions, exchange ideas and look into further research collaborations.
