Inaugurated in
2004 as a platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue, the Humboldt-University CSR
conference series has established itself as the world's premier international
forum for
exploring the global themes of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and
sustainability in all
their various dimensions.
This year’s doctoral workshop will particularly address interdisciplinary
research in the
fields of sustainability and CSR in a globalized context. We are inviting PhD
candidates
from social sciences, law, business sciences and economics as well as from
natural
sciences and engineering to engage in a dialogue on solutions for global
challenges of
sustainability and CSR.
Proposals may address the scientific topics listed below but do not
necessarily have to be
limited to these. Rather they should investigate subjects representing cutting
edge fields of
research. Particularly appreciated will be projects which incorporate
cooperation with nonacademic actors or institutions from the business or the
NGO sector as well as the political
sphere. Related research areas include:
- Sustainable supply chain management,
- Sustainable energies, climate change and carbon footprint strategies,
- New forms of multi-stakeholder governance and the legitimacy and
effectiveness of global CSR standards,
- Sustainable production technologies in developing countries and countries of
transition,
- Social entrepreneurship and social business,
- Sustainable urban planning and the responsible metropolis, Responsible leadership.
The workshop offers PhD candidates a unique possibility to present and discuss
their
research projects in an inspiring academic community of both fellow PhD
students and
experienced researchers. The friendly and supportive atmosphere will allow
students to
improve their academic skills and abilities as well as to connect with
international PhD
colleagues and faculty members.
As a special honour the best paper presentation will be granted an award of
500 Euros at
the conference gala dinner.
An additional highlight of the workshop will be a session on publishing
strategies, held by
Timothy Devinney, former chair of the International Management Division of the
Academy
of Management, associate editor of Academy of Management Perspectives, and
co-editor
of the Advances in International Management series.
