Inequality Platform-Head Start

The CBS spearhead initiative, three new Business in Society-Platforms, all had a head start this semester, and the Inequality platform is no exception.

The platform has had a very vigorous first semester with a great number of seminars, visiting researchers and participation at international conferences. 

As examples of outreach activities and international performances, platform-members were represented at the OECD Forum in Paris in May, just as the platform was actively represented at the public Danish event Folkemødet (People's Political Festival). During summer the Platform will be actively represented at international conferences such as EGOS in Tallin and AoM in Chicago.
