CBS in May
Panel debate on quality education in the future
Is quality education at CBS still possible after the recent cutbacks in higher education? Minister for Higher Education and Science, Ulla Tørnæs (Left Party), will visit CBS to take part in a panel debate on quality education, the new cutbacks in this area and the government’s future plans for the university sector. In addition to Tørnæs, the panel will comprise, for instance, the Dean of Education Jan Molin and the vice president of CBS Students Thomas Philipsen. CBS Students is hosting the debate and there will be a Q&A session with the panel.

Conference on the relationship between human rights and responsible business
What significance do human rights have in responsible business? This is just one of several issues that will be discussed at the conference, whose goal is to provide greater insight into the relationship between human rights and responsible business. Presentations will be given by Dr Michael Addo, who is a member of the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights and an associate professor at Exeter University; Maria Anne van Dijk, who is Head of Environmental, Social and Ethical Risk and Policy at ABN AMRO ; and Björn Fasterling, who is a professor at EDHEC Business School. The aim is to bring together practitioners from industry and educational institutions, which is why the conference targets business managers, educators and decision-makers at business schools and institutions of higher education.

Nordic book launch across academic fields
Participate in a lecture taking place at the book launch on a study from a groundbreaking collaboration between Danish and Norwegian researchers that examines existential bodily experiences across academic fields. The idea behind the book, The Living Body (Den levende kroppen), is to do away with the differentiation between the humanities and the natural sciences and thereby show the possible connections between the body seen from a humanistic, natural science, aesthetic and theological angle. The lecture is hosted by the Department of International Business Communication and is open to the public. Registration not required.
