Innovating Business Education for Responsible Global Mind

The main purpose of the final conference is to bring together researchers, educators, companies, and students, who work on embedding ethics-sustainability-responsibility (ERS dimensions), international intercultural and global (IIG dimensions) and social innovation and entrepreneurship (SIE dimensions) in the curriculum not as separate silos but in an integrated approach. The conference includes three strands. Participants are invited to:

• share their own research or teaching practice for embedding the UNSDGs in their curricula by submitting an abstract and paper.
• engage with the outcomes of the IBE-ReGloMi project, its model for future oriented graduate attributes, its innovative student-centered pedagogies and examples, and its continuing professional development programme.
• engage with student presentations on the business challenges they have been working on pertaining to ERS, IGG and SIE dimensions and perspectives.

The conference acts as an international learning community about Innovating Business Education for Responsible Global Mind to provide networking opportunities, knowledge exchange, share research results, enhance experiences, and inspire stakeholders to resonate and engage with our IBE-ReGloMi goals.
