• University of Massachusetts Boston – EM Normandie Research Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

   We are pleased to announce that the second edition of the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMASS) – EM Normandie (EMN) Business School Research Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) will be held online on 17th and 18th of June 2021.
  
  

  The conference is an annual opportunity for researchers to explore, test out new ideas, and network with a diversity of peers seeking to advance our understanding of CSR as a social function that enables businesses and society to coexist and benefit from each other. It is intended to take place in a friendly and stimulating environment that allows the attendees to explore new frontiers and tackle new horizons in this important domain.

   
  Two main research questions will be of particular interest this year:

  1. How should contextual variables be accounted for in the assessment of corporate social performance?
  2. What can be learnt from corporate responses to the COVID-19 outbreak that can extended to enrich our understanding of genuine and authentic CSR?

  We welcome papers that do not exceed 6,000 words, as well as extended abstracts (between 1,000 and 3,000 words). The deadline for submission is March 15, 2021.

International Teaching & Exchange Opportunities

• Overview

  Beyond any opportunities listed here, faculty interested in exploring teaching and exchange opportunities abroad should contact the director of Global Engagement and International Business, Dr. Andrés Gallo. Oftentimes, UNF's partnership agreements include a section on faculty short-term exchange. This addendum typically allows for UNF faculty's accommodations abroad to be covered by the host institution for the duration of the exchange. Dr. Gallo will help match faculty interests with requests or availabilities at our partner universities.

• IPADE Business School (Mexico) Executive MBA International Teaching Week: May 2021 (virtual)

  COVID-19 has shattered the world. The challenges we face today are ever more complex and interconnected. Addressing these grand challenges demands a new, braver way of doing business: one that embraces its transformative power and engages the intervention of different stakeholders. To be effective, businesses must think beyond themselves and consider the more extensive integrated system they are part of. A reinterpretation of Aldous Huxley’s “everyone belongs to everyone else.”
  
  In this one-week program, we will address the fundamental questions underlying business’s role in a post-COVID world: What is different in the challenges facing businesses nowadays? What is the role of business in addressing these challenges? How do these challenges reshape the way we understand and materialize Corporate Social Responsibility and sustainability?
  
  Each session should be:
  Aligned to Brave New Business: Rethinking Sustainability in a Recovering World.
  80 minutes long.
  Case-based.
  
  Next steps:

  • Interest confirmation: January 26th, 2020.
    • Submit the session title and a brief description. (not exceeding 100 words)
  • Complete proposal: February 16th, 2020.
    • Submit the case, a complete session description, and structure.
  • Selection of sessions: will be done by the program steering committee on February 17th, 2020.
  • Notifications: February 19th, 2020.

• KEDGE Business School (France) International Seminar: March 2021 (virtual)

  International Seminars continue at KEDGE Business School with an online format. It will take place in March, from Mon.15 to Fri.19 . The topics will remain focused on Navigating in times of crisis; a perfect theme for our students to get essential keys for their professional life.

   

  Our seminars aim to teach our master students a specific field (e.g., Corporate Social Responsibility, (I)HRM, Finance, Marketing, Operations Management, Strategy) that we do not necessarily have within our school. It would be interesting for our students to be taught a class with a topic in relation with the Covid-19 virus in order for them to understand the new world we are living in. Based on a collaborative work, our students are eager to learn more about a trendy specialty which will serve them well for their professional future.

   

  If you are available for next spring 2021, and if you are willing to be part of this professional and human adventure, please send to Pr. Kraak Johannes / international.seminar@kedgebs.com your résumé, as well as the syllabus of your course in AACSB format (matrix and example attached) by January 25, 2021.

   

  Should you have a colleague at your faculty interested in teaching online with us, feel free to forward them this message. A question about the theme, please do not hesitate to contact Pr. Kraak Johannes.

• University of Hertfordshire (England) Global Week: February 2021 (virtual)

  The University has hosted Europe Week for the last 16 years. This year the event is being widened to Global Week so we can welcome participants from partner universities outside of Europe. It will be a virtual event and take place in the week of 22-26 February 2021.

   

  We cordially invite members of faculty at both our Erasmus+ partners and partners from outside of Europe to take part as a lecturer, a researcher or as both.

   

  Global Week will take the form of a series of lectures and seminars on international and intercultural topics, most of which will be located within taught modules. However, in addition we will offer a number of open lectures to all students on topics likely to be of interest to a wider audience. The event is designed to raise a global perspective and intercultural awareness amongst our students and to encourage them to take up an exchange within their degree.

   

  Participants will be asked to offer 1-3 hours of teaching online in the form of a lecture or seminar on subjects of their choice, with an international, intercultural or a home country perspective. Teaching will take place between 09.00 GMT Monday 22 February and 17.00 GMT Friday 26 February.

   

  In addition, there will be a Research Forum on Thursday 25 February allowing the opportunity for participants to present papers on their research to both faculty at Hertfordshire and faculty from our partners participating in the event.

   

  If this proposal is of interest, please can you confirm:

  • the name(s) and email address(es) of staff who will be participating;
  • the proposed topics for their lectures and/or seminars;
  • the language of teaching if other than English;
  • the research topic, if appropriate.

   

  Once we know which topics are being offered, we will be able to match these with our subject areas and interested faculty at Hertfordshire, and let you know on which days and at which times your teaching will take place.
