Conversas #Emprender is a cycle of conferences-colloquia that aims to promote scientific dissemination, entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial culture among citizens and to highlight the importance of research in economics and business. In the Conversation, a researcher shares the stage with a professional in the field of entrepreneurship; the topics chosen are of general interest and address current issues related to the business world and its relationship with society and the environment. This format encourages debate and critique of new knowledge, ideas and opinions among broad social groups.
