CBS-students behind a week dedicated to social responsibility.

An entire week dedicated to social responsibility

During this time there will be business presentations and panel discussion related to Corporate Social Responsibility and students from business schools in countries such as Sweden, Norway, Germany, Finland, Belgium, Hungary, China and Denmark will participate in the competition where they will be given 48 hours to solve a real CSR-problem for a large company (unknown in advance). The last time this competition took place the participants worked out a solution for the oil company Shell on the development of an entrepreneurial- and educational project for the company in Oman.
