The 9th ICSR conference has been postponed to 2021
As we are uncertain about how long the Covid 19 situation will last, and whether travel bans will be lifted, and because the health and wellbeing of our network is a priority, we have decided to postpone this years’ conference by one year.
The 9th ICSR conference will therefore now be in 2021. It will take place at Mid Sweden University, Östersund, Sweden on the 22nd and 23rd September 2021. If you have submitted abstracts you may want to revise these or progress them, and we’ll give you details about next years’ submission dates on the website.
We would like to thank our colleagues Anna Sorensson, Besraf Tesfaye, Anders Lundström, Maria Bogren for all the efforts they have already made to organise the conference in Sweden, and for their flexibility to host our conference in 2021.
We will release communications about the next conference on our website, but in the meantime if you have any questions do contact us.
Stay safe.

ICSR 2020 – Conference theme: Creating New Roles for a Sustainable Economy

Theme: Creating New Roles for a Sustainable Economy
Sensitivity to social responsibility, and ideas, agendas, principles, practices and arrangements of sustainability are areas that require creating new roles and entrepreneurial approaches.
In this conference, we want to address emerging roles of existing businesses, markets, approaches, and practices for a sustainable economy. What new roles are existing businesses adopting in their practices in social responsibility and sustainability?
