Younger board of directors and more female leaders – a fast track to reaching the UN SDGs?

Inspired by the outcome of two research studies at DTU Entrepreneurship, we are currently exploring whether organizational factors such as younger board of directors or higher share of female directors also influence entrepreneurship and innovation for the SDGs. We believe that in a rapidly changing world where sustainability issues are becoming more and more important, this knowledge can become a crucial asset for business, universities and policy makers.

We conduct conceptual and empirical research using various research methods to create societal impact

Our research pursues the following goals:

Build strong research topic areas around entrepreneurship such as sustainability, digitalization and didactics that contribute to DTU’s overall strategy

Develop an ambitious and attractive research environment with a strong focus on academic development and international partnerships to ensure the Centre delivers excellent research

Translate our research results into actionable insights that benefit Centre’s education and impact practices, which in turn provide empirical foundations for research to close the learning loop
