Forward Together

PRiME Competition 2019

We brought the vision and spirit of the global Principles for Responsible Management Education into our local school-wide initiative aiming to build awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals - the School of Management PRiME Competition!

The PRiME Competition was launched in the 2018-2019 academic year. Students from various undergraduate and graduate School of Management programs submitted 25 projects. Each project included a written paper and SDGs-executive summary required for the first round, followed by a poster presentation at the PRiME event on May 1st, 2019.

COMMUNITY ABOUT PRiME

In the survey conducted after the event, 67% of respondents indicated that this competition helped them to develop a better understanding of Sustainable Development Goals. “Building a network with other like-minded students who are willing to do extensive research and promote sustainability”, “discussions with students and other  participants” were mentioned among valuable benefits.

My participation in this competition has definitely prepared me for the next phase of my career after graduation. I have grown not only in my studies in the MBA program, but also in partnership with my community, particularly within the sharing economy framework.

It was wonderful to share what I am passionate about with others.
