Summary, in English

In this study, we contribute to research on the history of entrepreneurship
education scholarship in the 1990s and early 2000s by
focusing on the Internationalizing Entrepreneurship Education and
Training Conference (IntEnt conference). Acknowledging the pioneering
initiative of the IntEnt conference in a formative phase of
the development of entrepreneurship as a teaching subject, our
study delves into the scholarly field’s early collaborative endeavors
and knowledge expansion. We collected descriptive data on the
conference’s evolution by reaching out to conference hosts and key
delegates. Additionally, we identified edited proceedings for content
and bibliometric analyses of annual conference papers. The
findings illuminate the role of the IntEnt conference in fostering an
emerging academic infrastructure for international collaborations
and knowledge exchange on entrepreneurship education. In this
regard, the study provides a deeper understanding of the field’s
evolutionary trajectory.
