2:30pm - 3:30pm Taster Lecture: Sustainable Entrepreneurship: Challenges of Sustainability Transitions
In this talk, Dr Dorrie Chao will give a “taster” of what teaching is like and deliver a lecture as if you were a Business student at the University of Southampton.
Learn about the most recent developments as to how entrepreneurship and innovation can transform the world for the better: making it more inclusive and less polluted! The Centre for Inclusive and Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CISEI) undertakes cutting-edge research on socially inclusive and sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation. We engage with a diverse set of stakeholders, including managers, policy makers in government organisations and social enterprises, to empower individuals and organisations to tackle critical equality, diversity and sustainability challenges. We teach about entrepreneurship tackling poverty, improving sustainability while also promoting diversity and inclusivity in society.
