The first edition of the CR&DALL Working Paper Series (WP101/2015) has been launched with a paper by Paul Benneworth (CHEPS, University of Twente) and Mike Osborne (CR&DALL, University of Glasgow) entitled Understanding universities and entrepreneurship education: towards a comprehensive future research agenda.
