PhD workshop

Written by Alin Stancu on . Posted in 7th ICSR

In collaboration with the International Conference on Social Responsibility, Ethics and Sustainable Business (http://www.csrconferences.org/) that will held at BI in October, we took the initiative to organize our very own workshop to help prepare ourselves for our future careers whether it be in academia or in business.  It also occurred to us that there are limited opportunities to socialize and collaborate across departments, we therefore wanted to take this opportunity to promote networking opportunities and to build our PhD community here at BI. This workshop is free of charge. At 15:00, we will serve food and drinks at our department of leadership and organization. Download the agenda phd workshop v1.
