    The World We Want

    Objectives

    How to build a better world ?

    “Inclusion” “sustainability” “well-being”, the occurrence of these words and the concepts they encompass has grown in society and businesses in recent years. The UNO even identified "17 Global Goals to transform our world". Research in this AE aims to support firms, organisations, and institutions in their strategies to achieve a better future.

    "The AE promotes interdisciplinary research tackling the grand challenges of sustainability and sustainable development. We are a diverse and open-minded group of researchers offering opportunities for exchange and development to colleagues working within different methodological paradigms. We organize seminars, research workshops, writing retreats, conferences and other academic events with the participation of leading international researchers in our field" Paolo Antonetti, Director of the World We Want AE.
