IÉSEG School of Management is proud to host the 2024 edition of the Business & Society Research Seminar. This event is designed for PhD students and emerging scholars in various research fields related to BusiBSness and Society. While the specific theme of interest for this year is “Business, Peace and Sustainability: Navigating Systemic Challenges”, all works addressing Business and Society questions and challenges can be submitted to the Research Seminar.

The keynote addresses of this 2024 edition will approach how businesses can contribute to peacebuilding in conflict-afflicted areas and post-conflict zones, and how researchers can engage with marginalized stakeholders in such extreme contexts to develop meaningful research efforts.

Our first keynote speakers, John KATSOS (American University of Sharjah) and Jay JOSEPH (American University of Beirut), will address the “Roles of business in peacebuilding”.

Our second keynote address, on “Studying marginalized stakeholders: Learnings from doing research in ‘extreme’ contexts” will be delivered by Farah KODEIH (IÉSEG School of Management) and Rashedur CHOWDHURY (Essex Business School).

The full program will be published soon.

>> Registration is free but compulsory and is open until June 9, 2024 (11.55pm)
