KEDGE Hosts the 3rd KEDGE-NTU-Nottingham Trent University symposium

As part of a partnership that spans more than ten years, KEDGE and NTU jointly organise an annual faculty exchange centred around a symposium.
After a warm welcome from Natalia Yakovleva, Director of the Research centre for Sustainability, faculty researchers took part in several roundtables to discuss and provide feedback on research papers in progress.

The second day focused on group discussions around four key themes:

  • Inclusive leadership, governance and organising towards just transitions
  • ESG reporting and social impact assessment
  • Strategic innovation and digital transformation
  • Business, society and sustainability

Participating in a research symposium offers faculty researchers an opportunity to showcase their work, receive constructive feedback, and enrich their scientific thinking. These events encourage interdisciplinary exchange, stimulate creativity, and pave the way for new collaborations. They also help strengthen academic visibility, stay abreast of recent developments in one’s field, and embed one’s expertise within a dynamic and active scientific community.
