Designed for leaders of management-related academic institutions, the three sessions of the Global Forum will feature contributions from leading PRME Signatories. Global leaders from government, business and civil society will help to identify global trends in sustainable development and corporate sustainability and highlight the role of educators. Additionally, the heads of AACSB International, EFMD, AMBA and others will outline the way forward on integrating sustainability into management education. The Global Forum will also feature key deliverables, including the Inspirational Guide for the Implementation of PRME.

Along with the incorporation of positive case studies and stories, the three sessions aspire to answer the following respective sub-questions:

How does sustainable development affect the management education sector?
What are the external incentives (e.g. accreditation, rankings, etc.), and how can they further support the values of sustainable development and responsible management education?
What are the challenges and opportunities facing individual schools to (further) implement responsible management education and how can PRME help in this process?

Interactive meeting methodology

Building on the positive experience from previous PRME meetings, especially the 2011 PRME Summit in Brussels, the meeting seeks to maximise interaction between participants and to agree on concrete action items/next steps. Participants will be seated at tables of approximately 10 people. Sessions will begin with a moderated panel discussion conducted in "Question & Answer" style, to be followed by round-table discussions, to be facilitated by a Discussion Leader. The session will close with presentations of outcomes of table discussions.
