Colleagues,
If you are running a research centre or plan on starting one, you will want to read this message.
Registration is now open for the fourth bi-annual workshop for leaders of sustainability research centres, June 25-27, 2018, at the Cornell Tech campus in New York City.
The workshop is an initiative of the Sustainability Centres Community (SCC), managed by the Network for Business Sustainability (NBS). Since 2012, the SCC has brought together more than 130 sustainability centres from business schools around the world to share ideas - all with the aim of advancing knowledge and practice on business sustainability. The Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise at the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business is co-hosting the 2018 workshop.
Please join us for three days of discussion and problem solving around the challenges and opportunities that we face as sustainability centre leaders. The workshop will explore cutting-edge insights and best practices to improve sustainability research, teaching and outreach. We will also experience hands-on training to increase skills, including a half-day workshop on design thinking. Two days will focus specifically on centres, and a third will explore shared concerns with the broader sustainability community, including business managers and people from the government and non-profit sectors.
Visit the event website to review the draft agenda and register. Registration will be limited to 80 people. The workshop fee is $300 USD ($350 after March 1), but limited bursaries may be available for individuals from emerging economies. Please contact NBS for additional information about the event.
The workshop follows events at INSEAD in 2016, Harvard in 2014, and Ivey in 2012.
If you are not already a member of the SCC, please join. It's free, and we can do much more by learning from each other and building community than by working independently.
We look forward to seeing you in June.
