Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to inform you that the 4th PRME Regional Meeting (North America) will take place on 18-20 October 2017 in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. The event is being organized by the College of Business and Economics at the University of Guelph. In this meeting we will be exploring how organizations and academic institutions can effectively integrate the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, set forth by the United Nations, within educational programming, research and strategic partnerships. We will share best practice, reflect on opportunities for further progress in novel/thought provoking learning environments, and hear from leading deans, centre directors, faculty, alumni and corporate leaders.

The objectives of the meeting are to:

• Reflect on a decade of impact through PRME
  
• Disseminate and promote the adoption of the Six Principles of PRME
  
• Create a platform for both industry and academia to exchange ideas about the impact of management education on business behavior
  
• Celebrate our achievements
  

Please visit our website for more information on scheduled activities and for registration. https://www.uoguelph.ca/business/prme-regional

We invite papers from scholars and educators who are incorporating or responding to the six principles of PRME in some way into their teaching and co-curricular activities.  Contributions may be either conceptual or empirical in nature, and are welcomed from any topic area so long as their primary focus is on how the Six Principles of PRME are incorporated into learning, teaching or program development activities, particularly focusing on issues related to management or organization studies.

We invite papers describing initiatives that:

·               - integrate CSR into a course or curriculum of a program

·               - incorporate CSR research into the curriculum

·               - engage with the community on issues of CSR

·               - integrate sustainability accounting

·               - engage with the private sector to advance the SDG's in collaboration with Global Compact Local Networks

·               - explain how the SDGs are reflected in the conceptualization, organization, and practice of management education

Please send 600-word abstracts and contact details to rdhalla@uoguelph.ca or drezania@uoguelph.ca with the subject "PRMEregional meeting 2017" by August 31st. Selected participants will be invited to submit complete drafts of their papers by October 1, 2017.
