Sustainability day – Challenges
September 11
Sustainability Day: Challenges 13 september 2023

På Handelshögskolan vrider och vänder vi på framtidens utmaningar och funderar kring lösningar på de globala hållbarhetsmålen i forskning, utbildning och tillsammans med partners från näringsliv, offentliga organisationer och tillsammans med våra internationella samarbetspartners. I dag, kanske mer än någonsin tidigare, krävs kunskap och förståelse för sociala, ekologiska och ekonomiska hållbarhetsfrågor, både i näringslivet och i den offentliga sektorn. Dessa framtidsfrågor får allt större plats i vår forskning och utbildning. Vi ser det därför som centralt att du vid din examen har tillräckliga kunskaper för att kunna hantera frågor kring etik, socialt ansvar och miljö i ditt yrkesliv.

Sustainability Day: Challenges
Din första hållbarhetsdag på programmet är en dag med fokus på globala utmaningar för en hållbar samhällsutveckling. Dagen börjar i samtal mellan forskare från olika discipliner där den centrala frågan är; Vad kommer att krävas för att gå från ord till handling och åstadkomma den hållbara omställning som krävs för att nå de högt ställda globala hållbarhetsmål som världens länder enades om redan 2015? Går det att tackla fattigdom, klimat, naturresursfrågor och frågor om jämlikhet/jämställdhet samt ekonomisk utveckling samtidigt? Under dagen kommer du att få lyssna på ett antal spännande föreläsare som ger dig inblick i och förståelse för dessa problem och utmaningar och varför de är relevanta för dig i din kommande yrkesroll.

Upplägg
Sustainability Day: Challenges är upplagd som en konferens där du skräddarsyr din eftermiddag och väljer vad du vill fördjupa dig i. Global
ojämlikhet, antibiotikaresistens och smutsig läkemedelsproduktion, AI och anti-korruption är exempel på teman på dagen. Du medverkar på ett gemensamt pass och väljer därefter fritt mellan fem olika pass.

Challenges – första dagen av tre
Sustainability Day: Challenges är den första av tre heldagar för alla programstudenter. Nästkommande dagar äger rum under ditt andra och tredje studieår och kommer att fokusera på Responsibility respektive Solutions.

Praktisk information
Sustainablility Day: Challenges arrangeras den 13 september och ingår i alla program. Anmälan till de olika passen öppnar ett par dagar innan och du kommer att få mer information via skolans lärplattform Canvas i början av september. Du kommer då att få en inbjudan till Canvas-aktiviteten på din studentmail, denna behöver du acceptera.

At the School of Business, Economics and Law we twist and turn the challenges of the future and discuss solutions to the global sustainability goals in research, education and together with our partner companies, public organizations and international partners. Today, perhaps more than ever before, knowledge and understanding of social, ecological and economic sustainability issues are required, both in private and public sector. These questions about the future are taking a larger place in our research and in our education. Therefore, we find it central that by the time you graduate, we want you to have sufficient knowledge and tools to be able to handle issues on ethics, social responsibility and the environment in your professional life.

Sustainability Day: Challenges
Your first Sustainability Day in the program is a day focusing on global challenges for sustainable societal development. The day begins with a lecture and conversation between researchers from different disciplines where the central question is; What will it take to move from words to action and create the sustainable transition required to reach the global sustainability goals that the world's countries agreed on back in 2015? Is it possible to tackle poverty, climate change, natural resource issues, issues of equality and economic development all at the same time? During the day, you will get to listen to several lecturers who will give you an insight and understanding of these challenges and why they are relevant to you in your future professional role.

Customize your day!
Sustainability Day: Challenges is organized as a conference where you participate in a joint session before lunch and then choose freely between different sessions in the afternoon. Global inequality, antibiotic resistance and dirty pharmaceutical production, AI and anti-corruption are examples of themes of the day.

Challenges – first day of three
Sustainability Day: Challenges is the first of three days for all programme students. The following days take place during your second and third year of study and will focus on Responsibility and Solutions respectively.

Practical information
Sustainablility Day: Challenges is arranged on September 11 and is included in all programs. Registration for the various tracks in the afternoon opens a couple of days before and you will receive more information through the school’s platform Canvas at the beginning of September. You will then receive an invitation to a Canvas activity on your student email, which you need to accept.
