Events in Hamburg, Germany: GRONEN Reading Group & GRONEN Workshop October 12 & 13, 2023
Many of you may remember the city of Hamburg from the GRONEN 2016 conference. Now it is time to save-the-date for two exciting events: The GRONEN Reading Group and the GRONEN Workshop 2023!
GRONEN Reading Group Oct 12
If you have an R&R in a sustainability-related topic, we invite you to participate in the next GRONEN Reading Group (GROReG). GROReG is the platform of the GRONEN network to discuss sustainability-related papers at the ‘revise & resubmit’ stage (preferably with a journal that is at least ranked 3 in the ABS list). If you are interested, please respond to this email by contacting the reading group coordinator Elisa Alt (elisa.alt@kcl.ac.uk) by September 25.
GRONEN Workshop ‘Revitalize your Teaching on Sustainability - Best Practices and Novel Approaches’ Oct 13
The multi-faceted challenges the global community currently faces require a deep reflection on the way we teach sustainability and on our role as teachers. The climate crisis, energy security, and food accessibility have all become intertwined and lead to competing priorities in business and society. For teachers at business schools and technical universities, this raises important questions: Do the management models and decision-making heuristics we teach still fit this reality? How can we design new sustainability-related syllabi and refresh our teaching approaches?
The aim of this workshop is to bring together experienced teachers as well as those starting to teach to generate a debate on revitalizing sustainability teaching.The format is interactive, including panel and roundtable sessions which provide a platform to discuss current topics and reflect on their own teaching approach.
