An afternoon of talks and networking by the Post Graduate Sustainability in Business Network

The event will bring together post graduate researchers from across the university to listen to talks from Dr Jan Bebbington, Dr Neytullah Ciftci and Camillo Martinez, discuss their chosen Sustainability in Business topics and network with both the speakers and each other.

Speaker information and talk topics: 

Our first speaker is Dr Jan Bebbington, Rubin Chair in Sustainability in Business and Director of the Pentland Centre. Jan will briefly outline what she sees as the emerging areas of strategic interest for sustainability in business and will then take questions afterwards and open up the topic for discussion.
