Calls for Papers

There is a significant amount of innovation, adventure and soul-searching in our business and management schools. Thoughtful and well-trained people are conducting careful, rigorous research into responsible management education. The aim of the 2013 PRME Summit is to capture many of these lessons and make them available to the management education community worldwide. To that purpose, we invite you to present your brightest ideas in a 3 minute video at the Summit.

This platform is for people with clear ideas to communicate about their contribution to responsible management education, and we welcome proposals for inspirational videos that detail concrete action (organizational, research, teaching) at your business and management schools, highlighting how responsible management education is implemented at your organisation, as well as to inspire future actions.

The wider context of this Summit is the management education and private sector contribution to “creating the future we want,” which will influence the emerging Sustainable Development Goals that are at the heart of the dialogue around the post-2015 global agenda.

Accepted videos will be included in the outcomes of the 2013 PRME Summit, with select contributions highlighted in the Proceedings. All videos will also be highlighted through PRME media channels. Acceptance is subject to peer review, detailed below.
