The essential contribution of the proposed workshop is to shed light on the micro foundation of the role that entrepreneurship plays in the various views and interpretations of the link between knowledge, its creation and economic growth. These views and interpretations are often confined to specific fields within economics and related disciplines which are as diverse as evolutionary, entrepreneurial, institutional and regional economics, economic geography, endogenous growth, industrial dynamics, strategic management, and development economics. We want to bring together leading scholars in these fields to discuss and exchange views on the specific role of entrepreneurship and to build bridges over the boundaries of the specific approaches.
Deadline for submission of abstracts: January 15, 2010

Portugal is formed by many ports and gates, hinge spaces, border channels and nodes, of local and global networks, which sus­tainability is assured by territories with borders defined by sea routes.
It is more so in Madeira, key to the Mediterranean, which territory extends to Venezuela, South Africa, Australia, Channels Is lands, Lisbon and Algarve.
This Congress theme try’s to bring to scientific reflection the calling and the development of these hinge spaces that end up being more relevant when there are globalization processes, when these spaces acquire diverse typologies and when nomadic institu tions start to condition the sedentary.
