S&O Research Day 2025 - the 10th Anniversary Edition!
Participate
The S&O Institute is pleased to announce the organization of the 10th anniversary edition of the S&O Research Day on May 15th and 16th, 2025 on HEC Paris campus, Room S219, Jouy-en-Josas, chaired by Georg Wernicke.
S&O Research Day
Launched for the first time in 2015, the S&O Research Day aims to advance interdisciplinary research around Sustainability & Organizations Institute’s main topics on Climate, Inclusive Economy, and Purpose at the same time. Open to all, this event increases intensive exchanges among faculty and Ph.D, S&O affiliated researchers, and selected guests.
This year, we will replicate the traditional format of the event with one full afternoon of presentations on May the 15th followed by a social dinner for all the presenters. The second day on May the 16th will include a full morning of presentations, and a social lunch open to the entire community.
Presentations of later-stage projects are usually about 10 minutes long and are followed by a discussant (usually one of the keynote speakers). Presentations of early work last about 8 minutes and are without a formal discussant but open to direct responses and comments from the audience. The idea of the presentations is to give the audience a teaser about the project and start a conversation and not to give a full-fledged paper presentation.
The event can be attended by HEC faculty and Ph.D. students, researchers associated with S&O, and selected guests. We strive to foster social interactions between the participants and the keynote speakers and see it as an opportunity to present research in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
S&O promotes collegiality and interdisciplinarity. Your participation in S&O Research Day is expected to be for the entire event, to be surprised by others' research and to mingle with new people. So please come and share your ideas!
