???????????

Launched at the 2007 UN Global Compact Leaders Summit in Geneva, the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative is the first organised relationship between the United Nations and business schools, with the PRME Secretariat housed in the UN Global Compact Office.

The mission of PRME is to inspire and champion responsible management education, research and thought leadership globally.

The 1st meeting of PRME’s Central and East European Chapter will be taking place at RISEBA University (Riga) on 18-19 April 2016 to provide a platform for the official establishment of the chapter and develop a plan for its activities.

The main aim of the chapter is to give a stronger voice to PRME signatories of the CEE region within the PRME initiative and Responsible Management Education (RME) movement and provide them with more visibility, highlight good practices, as well as facilitate better exchange of ideas and experience in the area of RME relevant for the region. It will serve as a regional platform for dialogue, collaboration and collective action to further advance RME and sustainable development in support of broader UN goals.

The creation of regional PRME chapters was endorsed by PRME’s community in Rio de Janeiro in 2012, with the aim to support and advance the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) within particular geographic and cultural contexts. Since then, twelve regional PRME chapters have been created (e.g., the PRME Chapter Latin America & Caribbean (LAC), Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Nordic, DACH, Brazil, UK & Ireland, etc.) and have proved to be a useful outlet for closer regional collaboration, sharing good practices, and implementing PRME locally.
