Dear colleagues,
Did you know that the Sustainability Centres Community (SCC) has ahttps://nbs.net/sustainability-centres-knowledge-exchange-open-space-event-series/
Click to follow link." data-outlook-id="5baf370e-4847-45b4-b35d-6d059f3f2437" rel="noopener"> bi-monthly space for peer support and exchange? We host "open space" virtual discussions, where centre leaders can discuss their challenges and opportunities in running sustainability centres. These might relate to research, teaching, administration, outreach, or other centre work.
The SCC is a network of almost 200 business school sustainability centres, working variously on research, education, and outreach. The Network for Business Sustainability manages the SCC. If you're part of a sustainability centre that's not yet a member, please join us! It's free and simple, and we can do so much more working together.
The next knowledge exchange will be hosted on April 10, at 9AM ET / 4PM CET. You can sign up for the series now, and learn more about it here.
Format: During each session, participants will suggest priority discussion topics. We'll then break into groups to share advice and experiences, and come back to report key learnings.
Discussions so far have covered topics including:
- How to maximize centre impact,
- How to fund a centre,
- How to manage centre impact data,
- How to engage more faculty in sustainability, and more!
What topics will you raise? Anyone is welcome to join these sessions, but topics should be focused on centres.
If you can't make it next week, we'll be hosting another session on June 12, 2024. Registering will sign you up for both.
Hope to see you there,
