■Socially Responsible Investment: A Tool for Preventing Future European Sovereign Debt Crises?
10 October 2011 at Paris, France
http://www.societyandorganizations.org/2011/09/29/conference
The precarious situation of the sovereign debt market has driven changes in the political agenda of many European countries, often driven by the balance of payment and debt situation of the respective national governments. Analysis of social and environmental sustainability of countries and the related rankings offer a potential alternative to mainstream and dominantly financial analysis of sovereign bonds. The objective of the conference is to explore Socially Responsible Investments (SRI) in a broad sense and the potential role of non-financial criteria in the management of sovereign bonds.

■EABIS 2011 Colloquium
A new era for development: The changing role & responsibilities of business in developing countries
26-28 October 2011, INSEAD, Fontainebleau, France
The rise in "south-south" trade has challenged the hegemony of western world norms in trade and business around transparency, governance and ethics. While more business is being done in developing countries, there is little agreement about the responsibilities of business in development. Food, health, poverty and education issues as well as corruption and bribery in developing countries also require urgent action from governments, business (and business schools) and NGOs. The response from business to these challenges will be potentially the single most important factor in determining whether a new era of development achieves the objective of sustainable and inclusive growth. The EABIS Annual Colloquium will address these challenges with an interdisciplinary approach including social sciences, economics, applied sciences &technology.

-Management Education for Sustainable Development,
-Sustainable Consumption in Higher Education Institutions, and
-Higher Education for Sustainable Development in Central and Eastern Europe.
