2024 PRME Global Forum Call for Disciplinary Track Chairs

The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) will be hosting the 2024 PRME Global Forum on 18 June 2023 virtually.

The PRME Global Forum is PRME’s annual flagship event that brings together PRME’s stakeholders (i.e. students, faculty members, Deans/Heads of Schools and board members) to exchange knowledge and practices. Stakeholders share not only the latest pedagogical innovations that advance sustainable development, but also challenges encountered in developing responsible decision makers. The theme of this year’s event is Accelerating our Common Agenda.

In preparation for the 2024 PRME Global Forum, the Organizing Committee is seeking volunteers from the PRME community who are willing to lead the programming for the disciplinary tracks as well as advising and supporting the PRME Secretariat with the disciplinary-based PRME Faculty Awards. These Disciplinary Track Chairs will have an opportunity to help shape disciplinary knowledge and build faculty capabilities, by drawing in the best knowledge and experiences from around the world. The selected Chairs should demonstrate strong disciplinary knowledge and a commitment to high-quality teaching. The commitment is for one year, with the primary effort from January to June 2024.
