CEMS+ Ethics and Responsible Leadership in the Digital Society

UCD Business is organising a 2-day conference on Ethics and Responsible Leadership in the Digital Society to be held on the 11th and 12th of February 2016. The conference will be held under the auspices of CEMS and is primarily for the benefit of our 50 CEMS students. These students are required to take a set of seminars on the topic of Responsible Global Leadership, and this year these seminars will take the form of a 2-day conference structured around keynote presentations, group breakouts and plenary discussion sessions. The conference will be held in MH201 in the Blackrock campus.

We are also opening the conference to about 40 interested and engaged students from a number of our MSc programmes. Our vision is to encourage these students to critically reflect and engage with the pressing issues of Ethics and Responsible Leadership in a Digital world and also to spark a wider discussion on this area in our school.

We should also have space available for up to 10 faculty at each of the sessions. If you are interested, and sure you will be able to attend, please register for one or more of the sessions via EventBrite (click on REGISTER below). If you have questions, please contact one of the event organisers—Andrew Keating, Colm McLaughlin, Donncha Kavanagh, Gianluca Miscione or Séamas Kelly.
