In 2014, the RME Research Conference series was initiated by the PRME Regional Chapter DACH in collaboration with the PRME Anti-poverty Working Group at the University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons. To date, six conferences have been held in various cities throughout the globe. Our journey on Responsible Management Education started in Chur, the place where we will come back for our 7th RME Research Conference in the beautiful landscape of Switzerland.
Digital technologies and artificial intelligence are becoming ingrained into society, leading to a paradigmatic shift in the ways that enterprises do business and how universities and business schools prepare their students for the business world. Accordingly, there is a growing need to explore how digital transformation can help foster responsible leadership and promote the achievement of the SDGs. At the same time, questions remain as to the challenges that these disruptive technologies pose to responsible management and sustainable development as well as how research can contribute to this discussion. Therefore, in the seventh edition of the RME Research Conference, there will be a specific focus on the link between digital transformation, responsible management education and the SDGs.
The RME Research Conference is an ideal place to test and discuss new ideas, therefore we encourage suggestions for innovative ideas. We aim to create an environment that is welcoming and friendly, yet succeeds in challenging the existing knowledge base and assumptions, and hence drives the debate around responsible management education and the SDGs forward. The main conference will be a 2-day event offering several interesting formats to contribute. A couple of plenary sessions and panel and / or roundtable discussions will offer a platform to meet researchers and experts from all around the world to join forces and tackle the necessity to come up with innovative teaching formats in RME in the light of digitalization and artificial intelligence.
Please hand in your proposals for theoretical and applied research paper, interactive panel discussions, round table discussion, conference poster sessions or open engagement sessions.
